Great! Because I tried to make them into a text file using Xerox TextBridge for OCR. Last night, I scanned three pages of the parish register in "Picture Publisher" (came with the scanner) and saved them in .jpg format. One of them I also scanned in TextBridge, but I wasn't happy with the results. TextBridge is a top rated OCR program but the font in the book is too stylized which causes the program to miss-read the text and make garbage more than usual. It would take way too much time to proofread and correct each page. I made a sample web page from the first page of the register and it can be viewed at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vanewken/stpete1.html Unfortunately the first few pages don't have much in the way of dates and the "A" are missing for the early years. Being that New Kent is a "burned county", one takes whatever one can get. I finished scanning the index of the register which was 20 pages. I've decided that I'll do 10 pages a day. There are 186 pages left to do.
