Re: Announcing the Archivist Scanner and a Beta Program!

After the announcement of the beta test program, we received many fantastic applications, and we had to make a difficult call -- we only had few scanners to deliver.

Re: crowdsourced transcription instead of OCR

Here you can find a really comprehensive list of projects that are using crowdsourced transcription: http://melissaterras.blogspot.com.ar/2010/03/crowdsourcing-manuscript-material.html But I think that is not a question of "transcription instead of OCR". Normally all these projects use OCR...

Re: Attachment upload issue...

If it's a forum host issue, we'll have to ask Daniel. It seems that this might be a forum host issue, because right now, the size of an attachment is not limited in the ACP, at least from what I was able to see. Not that I know much of forums...

Re: Hackerspace scanner, the laser cut version

Why buying bearings to Asia? Bearings are something really easy to find, and normally they are cheap. And you only need 20 bearings for the whole scanner. It's only worthed to order if you are going to use a lot of bearings, which I believe is not the case! Just a suggestion for you. Really nice loo...

Re: Introducing spreads: command-line workflow tool

So, I abandoned the installation of the GUI on Linux Mint for now, but I'm having trouble to shoot the camera (I've bought a A2200 just to try how this works). When I plug the camera to the computer and try tu run Spreads, the camera turns off. Do you know what might be causing the problem? I don't ...
