Learn the Khmer writing system with a PDF I just OCR’d

Posted On May 10, 2021

I took the liberty of downloading Eisel Mazard’s scan of Cambodian System of Writing and Beginning Reader with Drills and Glossary, by Franklin E. Huffman, with assistance from Chhom-Rak Thong Lambert & Im Proum. After downloading, I ran it through Scan Tailor, and OCR’d it (English only, I’m afraid). With this post processing, the 34 MB PDF is now a sweet 9.5 MB. It is an old textbook from 1970, but the copyright expired in 1975, making the book now Public Domain, which means I’m free to share my version here.

Happy learning!
