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.
