Vectoring Old Slavonic Printed Texts

Abstract

Since digital technologies have the leading positions along with all the other ones nowadays, the problem of keeping the historical heritage by its translation to the electronic format is of the primary importance. This paper considers the vector processing of old Slavonic first-printed editions by different software means. Vectorizers are assessed from the point of view of recognizing an old Slavonic text. The main criterion of comparison is the development of the skeleton within a definite software program. Results of comparing these programs are given.
