A collection of scanned pages of English text designed for testing low resolution OCR systems. There are 11 different pieces of text, each of which contains 5 pages of text. Each of these 55 pages is typeset in 18 different fonts and then scanned at 300 dpi, producing a total of 990 pages of scanned text. Downsampled 60 dpi and 75 dpi versions are included.
