Hi

Due to big amount of newly added (bank)notes with no obverse and reverse lettering added I am asking, if there is a way with OCR to add this data from pictures? I am no tech wizard as Xavier...

Even with OCR you'll have to work like crazy, maybe more than you would normally do. So many alphabets, so many fonts, so many sizes, so many colors, it will be a mess. Just try manually to OCR a single banknote and see what happens. /!\

Hello,
I have no plan to implement OCR for banknote description, as it looks challenging to have something meaningful and the added value versus manual transcription seems quite low.
