If you go in there you will see a description of the project, plus a list of all the areas and their status. Each area will vary in its stage of completion, but there will be a contact name , and the people are really friendly and helpful. If you email the contact they will send you a tutorial transcription( very much like FeeBMD), where you practice copying out a page, and this let you know if you enjoy it or not. There is also free software to download to use. They also need checkers, to check other people's transcriptions. Regards Maxine
