The materials always came as\nPDF files, but oh my, what kind of PDF files they were ... They were\nalways scanned documents (scanned!) of litigations, court transcripts\n(with comments scrawled over them), email trails with handwritten\nPaste-its ... On the one side I could OCR and automatically translate\n(with ProMT)  pages upon pages of court room material (pure bliss), on\nthe other side I got regularly stuck for hours on Email BS (pure hell at\n50 words net per hour) than ran like this\n\n/To: XXX      ,\ncc:   Y1, Y2, Y3\nbcc: Z1, Z2, ----\nsubj: //missing an answer to mail of XX.YY.ZZ /\n/\nHi X, //I&#39;m missing an answer to my mail of XX.YY.ZZ? //\n\nSincerely yours /\n\n- and then five or six copies of the same from Cced and BCCed persons,\nwith handwritten comments all over them - to be deciphered and\ntranslated as well of course. Why hours? Because I tried again and again\nto push it all through OCR, and of course it kept getting stuck (Susan\ncan just sing the same songfor us and so can a lot of others).\n\nI have braved it for quite a long time, but I hope I have learned my\nlessons. Here&#39;s a few points to ponder:\n\ni) dont quote on any translation based on PDF input, until you have seen\nthe material\nii) check with the client regarding the cost of transliterating it all\niii) check with the client regarding the cost of formatting the output\n\nand in general:\n\niv) if you get overexposed to Abby FineReader, everything may start to\nlook like a document demanding to get OCRed.\nv) once you get used to CAT, every text, even when carved in stone, may\nstart to look like one more candidate for these tools\nvi) often your head may be all you need to do the translation. Make sure\nyou keep it (it&#39;s between your shoulders).\n\nregards\n\nVito\n\n"}}
