OCR of transcriptions, batch import before crowd sourcing

[martinantonmueller]

I have 25.000 pages of newspaper clippings and 25.000 txt-files with an OCR of those clippings. It would be nice to be able to upload those transcriptions to the Scripto-field before crowd-sourcing. But I don't see how to address the relation uris between OMEKA and Scripto. Any idea?

I see no simple way to do this. One way is to write a script that iterates through the items and POSTs to admin/scripto/index/page-action using the following form data:

• page_action: edit
• page: transcription
• item_id: [the item ID]
• file_id: [the file ID]
• wikitext: [OCR text]

Thank you! I'll check that out!
