Church and community cookbook digitization
Plan digitization of an old church or community cookbook with page inventory, contributor names, OCR review, index notes, and private archive handoff.
What the handoff includes
- Page and edition inventory
- OCR and contributor-name review
- Chapter and index plan
- Archive PDF handoff
Workflow
- Confirm ownership and permitted use.
- Scan covers, contents, recipes, and notes.
- Generate an OCR review checklist.
- Prepare the searchable archive or private PDF handoff.
Review safeguards
- Confirm permission before republishing contributor content.
- Do not remove original contributor names without archive review.
- Keep source scans and corrected text versioned separately.
Service boundary
FamilyRecipeLegacyAI helps organize, transcribe, and format private family recipes. It does not provide nutrition, allergy, food safety, legal, or publishing advice. Families should review every ingredient, measure, name, and story before sharing or printing.
When paid recipe book prep is worth it
Buy the $49 starter after the free brief has a small sample or first 8-12 pages, enough context for OCR review, chapter planning, measurement flags, and one family reviewer. Use the $149 full prep when the family needs a fuller private booklet handoff with source mapping, permissions, proof tracking, contributor notes, archive structure, and private sharing planning. Skip payment if you need scanning, perfect OCR, physical printing, public publishing, file-permission changes, messages sent, nutrition, allergy, food-safety, copyright, legal, publishing, or printer advice, or guaranteed transcription, print quality, delivery, refunds, privacy, approval, sales, or revenue.
Does this provide publishing permission?
No. The group must confirm copyright, contributor, and publishing permissions separately.
Can old indexes be preserved?
Yes. Include original contents and index pages, then add corrected navigation only after review.
