FH Documents and Artefacts / Starting a transcription project
« on: Tuesday 08 August 17 15:36 BST (UK) »
I have recently inherited a large number of diaries kept by my grandmother. I would like to begin transcribing them, but as many people and places will be mentioned I would also like to be able to create an index as I go along.
Does anyone have any advice as to how to go about such a project? Would I need specialist software, or is this something I can do in Word? Is there anything else I should consider before starting such a project?
Many thanks for any suggestions offered.
