Give highlights a chance!
We made some improvements to our highlights with the most recent release of the keying tool. We made some changes on the “back end” that we hope will improve their accuracy in highlighting the desired fields.
We’d like to ask you to please pay special attention to the highlights over the next couple of days and give us feedback if you’ve noticed any improvement. Our internal testing showed they were more accurate- but there is nothing like getting hundreds of contributors looking at thousands of different image sets!
As you look at the highlights, please take note and provide feedback on how close they are to the field they are highlighting. If it is off, please move it to the correct location and note if it stays “on track”. We’d love to get your feedback over the next week so we can continue to improve this part of the tool.
Just finished a set of NYC Naturalization indexes. The highlighter worked quite well. My only suggestion would be adding the ability to ‘free rotate’ images. Many of the index cards in these sets are crooked, and it would certainly be helpful if we could straighten them out. The highlighter would also be able to maintain the correct position.
