Our experiments have shown that it is possible to perform OCR on 60 dpi scanned images of English text, which is a significantly lower resolution than the state-of-the-art, and we achieved a mean character level accuracy (CLA) of 99. 7% and word level accuracy (WLA) of 98. 9% across a set of about 1000 pages of 60 dpi text in a wide range of fonts.
