Function overview: Upload OCR text to wikisource pages, before they are proof-read by volunteers of this project.

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Here.

Edit period(s): as and when we upload new books to wikisource, as part of this project. Currently anticipated to be 3 per week - will vary depending on book and proofreader ability.

Function details: When scanned books are uploaded to wikisource, text from OCR needs to be automatically added for each page. For example, consider this page from a book we are currently working on. The text on the left hand side is OCR text, while the image on the right hand side is the corresponding scanned page. This bot will, for a given book, add OCR text for each such page.

Discussion
What's the rate limit for edits for my bot?


 * This page is only for bots that will be running on the English Wikipedia, do you intend to edit over at wikisource instead? —  xaosflux  Talk 00:46, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed - I suppose I should as someone on the sa.wikisource sysops list then (for the bot flag)? Whoa - looks like I myself am a sysop! Please tell me how to officially set the bot flag on the sanskritnlpbot page there.. I think the bot gets hit by some very low ratelimit otherwise. विश्वासो वासुकेयः (talk) 01:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
