  1. The development of a system that can correct special historical OCR texts much faster. The system should also offer the usability, stability and reliability needed to be used from research groups and institutes to make their work more easy.
  2. The system should be widespread as an open source system, so that all interested institutes of humanities and history science, libraraies or establishments to sustain current stocks are able to use it.
