OCR for MLK and JFK files
It would be very helpful if the Presidential Assassination files were searchable. Researchers could look up keywords and phrases and look for patterns without having to read the entire collection. Since the files are in pdf format, an OCR (optical character recognition) program could process the files and make them searchable. Instead of just the file name, important concepts like “PPC” (Poor People’s Campaign) could be searched for throughout the collection.
Has anyone heard that this has already been done somewhere or is interested in making this happen? Thinking about Digital Ocean.
