Purdue may be heading into a digitization project that requires
searchable text.  I am familiar with OCR systems for creating searchable
text but I am not aware of companies that do offshore keyboarding.  Has
any one had experience with an offshore keyboarding service?

Typically is the text returned in TEI or just straight ASCII?  

Any experiences that you have had could be helpful, certainly comments
on accuracy.

Thanks,
