In this day and age, it seems to me that typing things by hand is a
little inefficient? Surely, the transcription could be handled by
scanners and OCR? I would have thought that this project would be a
great 'see what we can do' opportunity for a scanner/ OCR company's
public relations/ advertising? Or a good 'community service' project
for people with the right equipment? ('Feeding' the machines still
takes time, after all!)
