> I will look into automating with OCR but it is also kind of cool to re-type it all to get a feel for the language myself. I ran the PDF through OCRmyPDF https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://ocrmypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ with the language set to English and it actually did pretty well even at recognizing Kuku Yalanji words. Getting it into a structured format will require some custom processing to parse the layout, though. > the languages are almost dead anyway so will be nigh impossible to get a data set. One way you might be able to slightly boost usage is to create a mobile keyboard based on the dictionary, making it more convenient to type in the language. Keyman https://keyman.com/ https://keyman.com/ is an open-source tool for creating keyboard layouts, coincidentally created by the Summer Institute for Linguistics.
