[or-roots] graduation information

[Robyn Greenlund]

For those interested, I use Abbyy Screenshot reader for doing a lot of my OCR work. It doesn't work well for handwriting, but I am very happy with what I get if it is typed text. I still proofread what it produces, and then verify names against other sources as much as possible, as there are always those typos that were in the original text - there I leave the original version but include the correction so that both forms are available and searchable.

Abbyy has several applications, but this tool is under $30 and anything that can be seen on your screen can be OCR'd. Abbyy.com

Sure hope she has a good OCR program, I can't figure out how to make my scanner do it at all, I am thinking maybe it is one of my other scanners that I use.
