I've recently become interested in OCR due to using Kaku on Android for trying to get better at reading Japanese. So thanks Hacker News for showing me a new version. I'd love any comments about other resources that may be good for learning. Especially because for funsies I'd like to try and develop my own.

For learning, you could try training yourself on datasets for handwritten character recognition: http://etlcdb.db.aist.go.jp/

Thanks! A dataset was one of the things I was dreading searching for/building. (Maybe this was super easily searchable and I'm just a goon, again I'm early stages of passing interest).
