Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has created a script or tool to compare the words
in a text file to a dictionary? I'm looking for a way to quantify the
quality of OCR output. I've heard that counting the number of words that
are in the dictionary is a good quick and dirty way to do this, but I would
like to be able to run this script on larger batches of text files so I can
compare OCR engines (not count words manually).

Let me know if you have any existing tools or thoughts about how to go
about this!

Thanks,

Kim
