   Being the Keeper of the Wills for a genealogical society I transcribe a   
   LOT of old handwritten Wills.  On my previous computer I had an   
   excellent program (free download) which I used for this purpose.   
      
   In brief, one loaded a JPG which appeared in the top section of the   
   window and typed the transcription in the bottom section of the window.   
     The jpg automatically shifted up the page as one added lines to the   
   transcription.  The transcription could then be saved as a Word document.   
      
   Unfortunately, I lost the program when I got a new computer.  I am sure   
   this program was called either Transcript or Transcribe but I now can't   
   find it or anything like it.  (It was not the program called Transcribe!   
   which is for music transcription.)  Searching consistently brings up OCR   
   programs or ones for transcribing audio files.   
      
   Does anyone either have or know the program I really want or can they   
   recommend something that works in a similar way?
