In 2017, OpenITI joined forces with the SHARIAsource project of the Program in Islamic Law at Harvard Law School to develop a robust and user-friendly OCR pipeline called CorpusBuilder. This project was funded by the Program in Islamic Law at Harvard Law School.
Version 1.0 of CorpusBuilder was released in March 2019.
Initially, an enhanced version of CorpusBuilder was slated to be developed during Phase I of the OpenITI AOCP.
However, in May 2020 the OpenITI AOCP and SHARIAsource teams decided to collaborate with the eScripta project of Université Paris Sciences et Lettres on the development of eScriptorium instead.
