I hate it when I seem to get a good lead from the OCR but then I can't find a single thing to which it seems to be referring to on the page. <br /><br />But your suggest is a good one in that if I or anyone else are taking down quotes, there is no harm in pasting the relevant quote in the OCR results since we're typing it out anyway. At least the "good parts" will be easy to find by others in the future if the whole thing is not transcribed.nevadacarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737530139399358069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-14834550954903336552018-09-16T06:37:58.728-06:002018-09-16T06:37:58.728-06:00If you have images of the newspapers to compare th...If you have images of the newspapers to compare the text, why would it be any different from looking at microfilm of the newspapers?

I am limited to such in researching my own project and don't want to be making improper conclusions because I may have missed something. Of course, I'm looking generally at the nation, rather than at any one specific paper/instance that a physical archive might require.nevadacarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737530139399358069noreply@blogger.com
