Correcting transcription errors
If I copy out an article, I like to correct transcription errors so others benefit from the corrected version,
But your system if very frustrating, as fast as I can correct errors then more appear.
I usually just copy to my PC and edit there so no one else benefits from my work.
Comments are limited to 500 characters so I cannot even paste the corrected version there.

Correcting transcriptions is just frustrating.
I came across an article with information that I thought would be useful to some people I know.
Corrected part, saved, started again and my corrections were corrupted so gave up.https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0005569/19990722/097/0010
