William,

Nope ... I used the Mark I, eyeball, and flying fingers (with spellchecker)

But when I helped out with Chalkley's "Chronicles" I used a scanner & text 
converter
At that time the software produced significant errors & correcting was more 
tedious than doing it manually ...

Dear Mr. Spradlin -

I just found your Henning's Statues online:
http://vagenweb.org/hening/index.htm
What an incredible effort! Perhaps you have posted this before BUT - would
you mind describing your technique?

I was wondering if you might use a voice recorder as you read the statutes
which then  transcribes into a Word document?
I was trying to think of a technique for automating your effort. I ask
because I do a small amount of "transcribing"
of county court records for my website and it is tedious work!

How many years did it take you to transcribe Henning's?  Thank you for all
that you have done.
