What is a transcription error?

Where is "Not a Name" button?

What if a field contains multiple names?

What to do with no-name words within a field containing a name?

What do all of the individual boxes in the color-highlighted field mean? are they necessary?

Can we change the size of the highlighted field or temporarily turn it off to not interfere with reading the names?

    This article does not answer user ChuckGarner's questions. I have the same questions which relate to the Get Involved project to review computer transcription of documents. This is new and different from computer indexing. I am working on Given Names church records in Spain. Please provide the requested information as above in the original post.
