+**OCRerrcr** is a small language model specialized for the detection of OCR error.
+
+OCRerrcr was trained by Elliot Jones for PleIAs on a sample of 1000 documents with labelled OCR errors from open data documents (Finance Commons) and cultural heritage sources (Common Corpus).
+
+To date, OCRerrcr provide the most accurate agnostic OCR error rate estimate. PleIAs has also develop an alternative pipeline for this tasks, [OCRoscope](https://github.com/Pleias/OCRoscope), that scale significantly better but also significantly less accurate, especially for document with fewer mistakes.
+
+The name OCRerrcr (instead of OCRerror) is a playful allusion to a common OCR misreading.
