CC looking for a good typist!

[jennifer]

Caudata Culture is looking for a volunteer who can type fairly well. I have a jpg file of an article about the seal salamander (Desmognathus). It needs to be transcribed into a text file. It is roughly a 2-page document, not very long, but it includes references, which are a pain to type. If interested, contact me directly.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is what you need, by the sound of things. If you send me the jpg I'll see what I can make out of it - it's not a sure thing but it might be able to save someone some typing time.

I'm not sure if OCR would work well, as the image quality is poor. My thinking was that a good typist could whip this off as fast as it would take me to scan for errors introduced by the OCR.

Thank you to Kim Bray! I think I now have a willing victim... er, volunteer!
