[Corpora-List] Methodology for capturing corpus from paper tocomputer

[Ana Julia]

Dear Samuel

I have faced something similar,
and my solution was to read all the reports (because they were handwritten) to my IBM Via Voice program.  I couldn't think about any other better strategy by the time... let's see if the colleagues have any better solutions

regards,

  Dear All

  Please advise on methodology for capturing paper forms into a computer corpus.

   

  My research involves a collection of 10,000 Verbal Autopsy interviews of mother or close relative of deceased, currently on paper forms. How should I have these typed onto PC? - double entry by two independent clerks is twice the cost of single entry (with checking by managers), is it really necessary?
