New scans (not Guilty Gear) ready to go for tomorrow. I got Lightning the Argent ported into Scrivener too. This OCR'd manuscript is kind of rough, I have no idea what Scrivener did to the formatting when it imported the docx... But still better than what I had to do to get Begin's Japanese manuscript together lol

#textpost #A good portion of you weren't here yet when I translated Begin but here's how I made the JP manuscript:#1. Wasted several hours trying to find an OCR that worked well on desktop. Failed #2. Found a really good one on mobile but it only had a 3 day free trial for multiple page uploads #3. Alright. 3 days to scan uh... almost 200 pages. Ok. No problem. [blog title]#4. Took pictures of Begin from the Bookwalker app 10 pages at a time #5. Now I needed to get the text onto my computer. Pasted it into Telegram one page at a time #6. Pasted it into the Google Document #7. Very slowly edited it by comparing it to the ebook on desktop #I did this over one weekend. I think I got like 15 hours of sleep over 3 days lol #My eyes were pulsing with how bloodshot they were by the end (light sensitivity debuff)
