## Running OCRopus

Ocropus Steps illustrates the basic steps in running OCRopus, as well as the intermediate representations and how to access them from Python.

## Making Ground Truth

Making Groundtruth shows how to generate ground truth for training from large amounts of unlabeled training data.

## Normalization

Normalization is an important preprocessing step for HMM and RNN recognizers. There is a particular set of classes and APIs in OCRopus to perform this normalization. They are illustrated in these notebooks: Simple Normalization and Normalization API
