<p>Thanks all round for the suggestions.... Looks like I'll have to wade my way through all the pages after all...:-(</p>

<p>It seems I could photograph every page with my smartphone using Evernote, Jos, and apparently it can read text but I've heard very varying reports about the results.</p>

<p>Yes, Wouter, I was thinking along those lines but the thought of doing this to 2249 (I've just checked up on the exact number) pages is more than daunting...</p>

<p>Thanks for your quick response, Matt!</p> <p>I have received just under 2,500 of photos of typed files and letters of varying quality, some of which have also had notes scribbled on them in pencil. I'm trying to find any references to particular people and ships e.g. SS Ettrick which may have been made. Here is a link to the file:<br> http://heritage.canadiana.ca/view/oocihm.lac_reel_c10327/757?r=0&s=2</p>

<p>Hello!</p> <p>I'm trying to do some research into my family tree and have been sent a file of almost 2,500 images (jpg) of text. Is there a way of searching through the text for given words (in my case the name of a ship) as in any other text-based page (i.e. Command+F). Are there any particular programmes for this? I've googled "How to search for text in images" but it didn't really produce anything... Thanks in advance for your help!</p>
