I haven't tried using OCR on older texts since shortly after I joined DPL. Was asked if we could digitize some old baseball programs. That wasn't hand-written, but older typefaces. The results were really unacceptable. If we had gone ahead with the project, it would have been easier to type all the text and somehow link it up to the scanned pages. That was several years ago, and I'm sure that the technology has improved substantially. I have been under the impression that better results still come from hand-transcription. And, obviously, several sites are still calling for volunteers. Was just sharing the information because I thought that some people on the list might be interested. Jennifer Jennifer Dye 734-709-8502

WOW the OCR has improved 100x since I last tried anything like that.
I may be encouraged to scan my grandmother's letters from WW2.
