Preserving Authenticity: Historical Transcription Services for an 18th-Century Directory
To a modern computer, the word 'Succefs' is a typo. To a historian, it is an accurate reflection of 18th-century typography. When a client asked us to digitize a 100,000-entry directory from 1793, they had one non-negotiable rule: do not fix the spelling. This case study illustrates why standard OCR fails at historical nuance and how specialized historical transcription services can preserve the 'Old English' character of your data.
