Indexing Cuba Images
Hi. I have seen some recent document images related to Cuba and someone on a Cuban Facebook Geneaology group pointed out https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&q.filmNumber=107685997&fbclid=IwAR1mPGYv0zl9DVq6pz46SIn3hv6x-p-3mHus7s7F4MmHAB1EsNzaIbIDFjo that there are some records attempted to be indexed by machine. I was wondering if there are any projects related to these Cuba images where live people can participate and extract and index information? Digitized Cuba records are very hard to find but there is a lot of interest from those of us with Cuban branches. I and I bet many others would be glad to be involved. Thank you.

Here is the link to see what projects are available for indexing:

The future is machine transcription and then humans to review and correct as needed.

Thank you. I have done indexing. I was starting to see some Cuban records in Image section that are not indexed or machine transcibed/extracted I guess but of poor quality. I am sure that ai will improve things but for the short term there is no question that a human could get more data out of most flourishy handwriten old documents than a machine. By the time the machines catch up I will likely be too old to do the work. :)
