[mises-docs] impossible task

[Jeffrey Tucker]

http://mises.org/etexts/raico.pdf

I exported this document to RTF but it is a mess, with tons of French and German that I can't begin to proofread. Anyone want to try a hand at it? If not, it seems like a typing service is the only way.

I'd like to take a crack at it.

This is my first attempt at OCR, so I've been taking some time to play
around with an app to see if I could get a better read of the PDF. I
installed Aquaforest Autobahn and ran the document through English,
French, and German modes (producing 3 separate documents) hoping to
capture as many special characters as possible. So far, it looks like
Autobahn does a much better job with the character recognition than
Acrobat does, but it hasn't eliminated the need to proofread and
format the text. I'm going to try to use spellcheck as an guide for
merging the languages as accurately as I can, but I would certainly be
interested in any pointers anyone might have for dealing with multi-
language, noise-ridden scans.

Thanks

All I can say is yikes! It is a heroic undertaking. I'm thinking typist here, truly.
