[Ohiodig] Transcription advice

[DRESSLER, Virginia]

Hi OhioDIG-

I'm working with a faculty member who is looking for advice on turning some printed data collection tables with handwritten content into a tabular format (without having to manually transfer or retype it).

I tried a few tests using ABBY FineReader to convert an image and PDF version of one sample page, but the results were pretty awful.

Anyone work on anything like this and/or have an idea? One of our librarians suggested trying ChatGPT, though I'm not sure if this data would be a good candidate or not, and another suggested Transkribus- https://www.transkribus.org

Thanks in advance!

Ginnie
