A new arXiv preprint presents a multi-expert OCR system for historical Manchu manuscripts, routing pages by visual style (regular script, running script, chancery hand) using a lightweight image classifier. The router achieves 99.3% page-level domain accuracy and matches a domain-label oracle, with character error rates of 0.30%, 1.57%, and 4.83% across three script styles. The approach reuses fine-tuning checkpoints as domain specialists, avoiding the need to train dedicated experts for each domain. The work addresses low-resource OCR for endangered historical scripts with a reproducible evaluation protocol.
