Had a really interesting job in yesterday.
Transcribing a load of hand written notes & poems into Word documents, prior to publishing them as a book.
First job was to scan them into PDF files at high resolution (600dpi).
The typed documents were reasonably easy to convert, as Adobe’s OCR function is very powerful, and soon had them in an editable form.
Then it was down to the re-typing out of the handwritten ones…….
Just under 5hrs & 21 documents later, the 1st proof is printed & ready for my client.
Sharing the lovely memories contained in these very personal letters and poems to loved ones brought back memories of my own childhood.
It’s such a privilege working on stuff like this and helping to secure such wonderful thoughts for future generations.
