You obviously haven't come across all of the Adobe acrobat OCR'd manuals on logsa. They are amazingly unusable. The OCR program gets way off kilter, and makes a mess of large sections of the manuals... and unfortunately, nobody has the resources to proofread the results.
Don't waste your time on the Heathkit manual. The license to reproduce the manuals was bought up by some little ham company, and they are very inclined to chase down any heathkit manuals on the internet, and serve the hosting site with a take down notice. The only thing you are "allowed" to put on the net is the schematic. -Chuck Harris Chris Albertson wrote:
The best thing you can do after you scan a manual is run it through OCR. If you have Acrobat then you have one of the best OCR systems around. This dramatically improves the readabilty and crispness of the text and at the same time makes the document much smaller and also it makes it searchable. It does require a bit of time because you have to check the quality of the OCR. But it mostly works well. I'm working on a Heatkit manual I have but is not yet available on-line. It will be OCR'd.
