OCR is an error-prone process. It is time-consuming and expensive to manually proofread OCR results. The errors remaining in OCRed texts can cause serious problems in reading and understanding if they do not refer to the original image representation. As demonstrated in this paper, a hybrid document which combines symbolic representation and image representation may relieve the problem. If we represent a OCRed document properly in HTML, OCR errors will not have much negative effect on the human reading process in an HTML browser and can be corrected by using an HTML authoring tool. Under this approach, an experiment evaluating a Japanese OCR system developed at CEDAR is also reported in this paper.
