Building Your Own Resources

John Calvin Hall

Question,

What does it take to make your own resource?  I am making an assumption that you need to get the document/ book into a format that Logos can appreciate, and if my memory serves me right, it would be an html file (if they are still making them in the same manner as PBBs were once made long, long ago, during a time when we had PBB).

Allow me to explain.  I have in my Library Erasmus's 1522 Greek and Latin Text, Complutensian Polyglot, and Beza's texts (3 editions).  All of them are in pdf format, but I wouldn't mind getting them converted over and making them available to be used in Logos.  I get the distinct impression that if I wait for Logos to bring them out, my grandchildren will be old and grey.  Besides, I don't mind tinkering around with them.

Does anyone know of a good OCR package that can best handle the archaic Greek in these texts?

 

Thanks!

All we know about PBB in L4 is that Bob promises that it will be much better and that implementation is delayed until early 2011. So at this point, we don't know that format will be required to generate PBBs in L4.
