Field notes
The page describes a photo-to-record workflow: source pages are transcribed, names rendered in Chinese, pinyin, and family-used spellings, and old-calendar dates converted. It says AI tools make the first pass, with a person checking entries against the photos; uncertain readings are collected for family review, with two correction rounds included in the Family Tree plan. Its sample is explicitly fictional and demonstrates treatment of a torn date and women recorded by maiden surname.
