mccdeuce Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I have just taken 200 pictures of every logbook page. Is that good enough to just store them as is or is there some other manner of indexing the logbooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carusoam Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I use iBooks for that kind of thing... at least for a copy of all my paper POHs, and manuals... Best regards, -a- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiepilot04 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Definitely get it in the cloud or back it up elsewhere. I'm a little OCD on that because of the number of failed hard drives I've experienced. I personally use Google Drive, but only because they "gifted" me 1TB of storage for being on Google Fiber (and I don't pay enough iCloud rent to use iBooks). Also, Google Drive has OCR built in to search within images/scanned PDFs, and that seems to work ok on my logbooks. May be too late for this, but for initially capturing your logbook entries, I would use a receipt tracking app of some sort. They do a good job of converting to black and white and flattening/cropping your images. Some of them may even have OCR/indexing built in. I have used Jot Not in the past for receipts (which will save directly to your cloud provider of choice), but I don't think it does any OCR.

mccdeuce Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Well it took one episode of Man in the High Castle to get them all captured. So if I have to watch another episode and do it again I guess I can do that.... i really didn't think of OCR or receipt tracker. I will probably do that tomorrow as well as backup to multiple locations. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
