Some solid CNI work. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Chris Leonard" cjlhomeaddress@gmail.com Date: Oct 19, 2012 7:30 PM Subject: [support-gang] Help needed - Amazonian Peru To: "Community Support Volunteers -- who help respond to "help AT laptop.org< support-gang@lists.laptop.org>

Dear Support Gang,

I need some "mechanical turk" style help from the Support Gang to create a usable dictionary resource for the children of Amazonian Peru who speak Asháninka (lang-cni). I have a large (435 page) image document that I need to process page-by-page into digitized text files.

All of the files and the necessary steps are laid out on this wiki page. If you have an Internet connection and a mouse, you can help out with this important task.

Please go to this page and read the step-by-step directions.

It really takes no particular computer skills to help out with this, it is just repetitive and a bit tedious. The other limiting factor is that the preferred OCR web-site will only process 15 pages per user per hour (for free), so having as many users as possible working on this.

If twenty people stepped up, we could have this done tonight and I could move on to the next steps (copy-editing and formatting), preparation for distribution in various forms, etc.

Thanks to anyone out there that will help me out with this.
