Description
Are you engaged in digital humanities work in any field, and want to analyze texts either on their own or in connection with larger corpora? Before you can do that, you may need to first digitize the originals you’re working with if they aren’t already available in electronic format.
Luckily, the Center For Digital Humanities can show you how to digitize text using our lab’s Bookeye® 4 V2 Professional Archive scanner. The scanner can handle books and other printed materials up to 16”x24”.
Participants in this small-group workshop will receive hands-on training in the basics of operating the scanner and ScanWizard software to produce high quality electronic versions of unstructured text suitable for text mining and analysis with tools such as Voyant. We will touch upon how to prepare your files for optical character recognition (OCR) using ABBYY Fine Reader software and discuss copyright concerns raised when reproducing print items.
*Note: additional training may be required before personnel are permitted to operate the scanner without supervision by Libraries staff.
Seating is limited to 10 participants. This course is only open to current SBU faculty, staff, and students. Registration required.
