While poking around in the List of Lists, I ran across this entry. It possibly may be of interest relative to the recent discussion of various OCR concerns.

Description:
This is a a mailing list for discussion of OCR -- Optical Character
Recognition -- which means the automatic reading of a text by a
computer. Anything related to OCR can be discussed on this list
(from handwriting recognition to OCR-ing strange alphabets to
barcode readers to anything else you can think of).
For instance, one might discuss experiences with various OCR
programs in various OCR projects, or the algorithms behind OCR, or
one might post funny misreadings by OCR programs. Also the
influence of OCR on copyright law might be an interesting topic.
One of the goals of this mailing list is the creation of a standard
suite of TIFF files for benchmarking OCR software. If you have
suggestions for files that should be part of such a suite, feel free
to suggest them. Or, if such a suite already exists, feel free to
discuss it.
Subscription requests will not be automatically processed, but will
be read by a human being (the administrators of this list).
