medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: John Shinners <[log in to unmask]>
> For free Google books, to the left of the "Clip" icon is a "Plain Text" link
that displays the whole book page by page in scanned copy that can be easily
cut and pasted. It's not always scanned accurately so it does need careful
proofing.
the vols. of the GC (and other exemplars of 18th typography) don't scan well
at all.
however, the Plain Text that you can see on the site is remarkably free of
errors (the "s"s turn into "f"s, however), compared to the OCR text you end up
with if you download the whole file and try and OCR the thing yourself
--apparently the OCR text is not included in the downloadable version (DUH).
doing it that way results in mostly garbage --faster to just keystroke what
you need, assuming that what you need isn't too long.
