Message-Id: <199701201828.MAA26918@library.wustl.edu> Date: Mon, 20 Jan 1997 13:10:34 -0500 From: Stacey Kimmel <mailto:stacey_kimmel@LIBRARY.LIB.NCSU.EDU> Subject: Scanning catalog cards To: mailto:IMAGELIB@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU
Hello,I would like to get in contact with someone who can offer advice on scanning (w/OCR) a large volume of small pieces (e.g., 3X5 index cards). The project under consideration would involve scanning 25,000 typed cards containing entymological terms/topics. Entries for each card are quite short, 2-3 lines and 25-50 characters each.
I'd appreciate any help, but am specifically interested in specs for a scanner/software that would be suited to this project; alternatives to photocopyiing cards prior to scanning; cost comparisons for hand-keying vs. scanning.
Please respond to me directly and I can summarize for the list. ---------------------- Stacey Kimmel 919.515.1624 fax: 919.515.7854 mailto:stacey_kimmel@ncsu.edu ------------
