Subject: searching manuscripts?
On behalf of a colleague I would like to collect any information about
current work in making manuscript images searchable by computer. I recall
someone describing how it was possible to calculate with fair degree of
accuracy the location on a mss. page-image of a specified word. I don't mean
searching a transcription, then displaying the mss. page for the
corresponding form to be located by eye, but a technique that would fetch up
the page and point to the location.
Thanks for any hints.
