OCR List

From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation

How to create an OCR List

1. Open the collection's TrackingFiles log file
2. For the files you are uploading, copy those rows to a new spreadsheet
3. In the new spreadsheet, delete all columns EXCEPT: Filename and OCR?
   • This will results in a two-column list, with only one filename per line -- which is what the script is looking for
   • OCR? should be filled in with 1 or 0 for each item (1=yes to OCR, more than half of the item is typewritten, 0=no to OCR)
   • If it isn't, take the time to look over the items in Bridge and fill in that column
4. Save as tab delimited file called [collection number].ocrList.txt
   • Example: u0003_0001577.ocrList.txt
5. Put in collection's Admin folder (in Digital_Coll_Completed directory, of course!)
