+The hOCR EOCR mbedded OCR Workflow and Output Format
+
+## About
+
+This repository contains a [Markdown version](./hocr-spec.md) of the
+[hOCR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOCR) format specification edited by
+[Thomas Breuel](https://github.com/tmbdev), converted from the May 2010 edition
+hosted on [Google
+Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QQnIQtvdAC_8n92-LhwPcjtAUFwBlzE8EWnKAxlgVf0/preview).
+
+## Why
+
+The goal of this project is to make the hOCR specification more accessible and
+easier to maintain:
+
+* cross-reference other specs
+* harmonize style
+* track changes without the spam of a world-editable Google Doc
+* structured improvements with Github tools
+* add samples
