Well this one was a stack of looseleaf pages sitting in an old box until a few days ago. I was so happy to find it. I have one of these inexpensive laser/scanner/fax/copier things as our main printer and using an app on my phone, I put one page at a time, scanned it, then the next, etc until it was done, and I saved to PDF. And after a lot of searching to find SOMEBODY who could convert handwriting to text ,I find that GOOGLE DOCS can do it – IF you open a PDF as a Google Doc with the handwriting in it. I was amazed. SO now if I find anything i have that I hand wrote it is possible to convert them into a format useful on the computer – where it becomes searchable, usable in AI, wherever. I’m so excited that it can do that.

Oh I had to do such unholy things to that illicit copy of my textbook. The WHOLE TEXTBOOK is in two and three columns. There’s only one way that works to get into a single colum, and that’s opening the PDF in Word and making it one column. But because textbooks depend on you paying attention to ITALICS and BOLD, which get lost in these conversions and are hard for me to read anyway, I decided to convert every italic and bold to UNDERLINE. What a miraculous difference for me that is . Finally, to VIEW underlines in a console like that – well, there’s very few options available that work that I’ve found, except for one and that’s converting to HTML. BUT only ONE browser in Linux RESPECTS the underline properly and that is “elinks” (not ‘links’ or ‘lynx’ – they try to render it in color) and so, with contorted process in hand, I get to look at text in a way that’s pleasant for my eyes, holds my attention]…

Oh I’m opposite. I love converting data. It’s one of my long time hobbies. Converting a WAV to a BMP, processing through a program that was designed to work with medical imaging (IMAGEJ) to run mathematical morphology on it to find the median, convert the BMP back to WAV and play a sound stripped of all its harmonics – that was stripped using visual processing – is one example of the kind of thing I’ve done for fun. I am continually amazed at the variety of different ways you can get different file formats to work via different modalities on a computer. It never gets old for me. In the end, it’s “all the same stuff” so it’s almost always “possible”.
