I'd really like these in HTML or EPUB.
Quick math says 500 pages per journal by 382 journals gives 382,000 pages. The going rate on Mechanical Turk seems to be $1 / page for human OCR. All the decent hosted OCRs sites I ran tests on are about .15c per page.
Yikes! Out of my budget. :-(
However, http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#OCR http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_gu... did a half-decent job on some random selections. Any Googlers want to (ab)use company resources?
- Kadin 16y agoIf you could get the copyright holder to release them into the public domain, then they would be a great candidate for Distributed Proofreaders. 382kpgs would still take a while (although maybe not too much if it attracted new volunteers), but it would be by far the cheapest solution.
