Репост из: Codex Amiatinus - Transcription Project
Introducing @CodexAmiatinus, a project that seeks to make a complete and accurate transcription of the oldest complete and extant bible of any language; the Latin Codex Amiatinus and it's exact and precise translation into English.
All files are hosted here (this is only a public repository, everything is saved offline)
We have currently compiled all 2059 pages of the Codex and done a basic (inaccurate) OCR conversion of all the pages to speed up human transcription.
We are reaching out for volunteers interested in the project to join and assist in the proof reading and correction of the OCR'd text. If interested, please join the group chat at @CodexAmiatinus.
If we can get 50 volunteers, that's only ~40 pages to transcribe each, which should take 5-10 minutes each to complete, which will total 3-7 hours of your time; depending on how fast you are. So setting aside 1 hour of your time a night for 1 week is all we ask and if everyone sticks roughly to this, we'll have this project done within 2 weeks.
