GenScriber

GenScriber is a desktop application for the transcription of Census records, church records, birth, marriage ,baptisms, burials, index records etc.

It requires no installation. Versions for Linux and Windows are Currently available.

GenScriber is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The interface is comprised of several resizable windows within a single main window. A register image can be viewed in the top window while data is input in the bottom window.

The data input area uses a Spreadsheet style grid, but GenScriber is not a spreadsheet.

GenScriber is a stable, non-volatile data input application, designed for a specific purpose.
The problems associated with using spreadsheets for genealogical data input do not apply here. All cell inputs are alphanumeric. No assumptions are made about the data type. Dates and values are not automatically modified to some alien value you didn`t want.
Unless you specify a special action on a column, all data input remains exactly as you entered it.

- Data (worksheet) files are always csv.
- GenScriber will read csv files with field separators of comma, semicolon, or tab.
- Image files may be jpg, png, bmp, tif, gif or pdf
- Images may be zoomed and rotated, with adjustments for contrast, sharpness, and Tint.
