OCR Service at a Public Library?

[Lolis, John]

(apologies for cross-posting)

We're looking to digitize our microfilm collection, and I thought that we
might want to go a step further and offer an OCR service to our patrons.

Is there anyone out there who is making OCR available to the public?  And
if so, how are you going about that?  Is it simply through a standalone
scanner workstation?  Do you charge a fee?

In particular, I'm looking into ABBYY's Recognition Server (
https://www.abbyy.com/recognition-server/) for the initial digitization
project and going forward, for an OCR service.

Many thanks,

John Lolis
