| WikiProject OCR |
| This project is for users to request for scans to be OCRed for various Wikisource-related projects. |
Contents |
[edit] Instruction
The participants listed below are users who have access to some kind of OCR software and are willing to extract text from scanned documents.
Users who desire for a text to be OCRed should place their request under the Requests section with the following format:
[[Title of the book]] (year published) - Author. # of pages. [source where pages can be found]
Note: "year published" should be when it was published in the U.S. as this will make determining the copyright status easier.
While these are the general instructions for requesting that a project be scanned, other users may have more specific instructions if they are to take on a project.

[edit] Instructions
Preference given to:
- Smaller requests
- Requests where obtaining the scans is easier (such as downloading a ZIP file instead of having to access each scan and download them all individually)
- Works that are hard to find in text form elsewhere on the Internet
- Works that I do not proofread
I will only work on two large projects at a time (they are first come, first serve) and will work smaller projects in the mix as I make time for them.

| Title | Year published | Author | Pages | Source | Completion |
