I have a stack of songwriter annotations in pen on a lyric sheet that must be archived and made text-searchable for future licensing. I don’t want to lose nuance in transcription. Suggest whether to OCR the scans directly, transcribe manually then attach scans, or use a hybrid (OCR then human-correct). Give the ideal workflow and a one-line instruction I can give the intern doing the scans.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
