I hope those involved in scanning realize what it takes to OCR *Greek*
text..., esp. mixed English & Greek text.... Perhaps there is software that
will do so, but I don't know of any. If that assumption is correct, realize
that a scan will produce readable text of only the English portions. That
leaves a *LOT* of manual entry of Greek text, often in complex formatting.
And I would *hope* that this would be done in Unicode so as to be viable in
future years. All the incompatible legacy encodings of the dozens of Greek
fonts in use over the past 20 or more years has left us with a royal mess.
