   Thank you so much, Thomas. I have been using GENScriber since I saw your webinar, and it has been so helpful to me. Even with AI, there are mistakes that have to be created. Your webinars are always fantastic!

   Outstanding!!\n\nSo many new sites to use for transcribing and translating assistance.

Thomas' webinars never disappoint! Thanks.\n\nSuper!\n\nSuper!!\n\nTerrific webinar by Thomas, he never disappoints! Thanks for having him again.\n\nTerrific!\n\nThank you for this webinar and ALL the links and information. It is just like CHRISTMAS, gifts galore.\n\nThank you!\n\nThank you! Wonderful information.\n\nThere are many tools that I was not aware of.\n\nThis is my first webinar with Thomas... I greatly enjoyed his style, his delivery, his visual demos (except for when FB crashed!). I'll be looking to view some of his other webinars in the Library. \n\nThis is one of his most helpful of tips and tricks webinars. Thank you.\n\nthis really helped with ways to shorten my genealogy problems of technological issues.\n\nThomas ALWAYS provides something new for me!!!\n\nThomas hit a grand slam homerun...way to go...thanks for all your help.\n\nThomas is always amazing. His handouts are on point and helpful. And he speaks slowly, calmly, and clearly so that we can take notes and follow along! Thank you Thomas!\n\nThomas is always excellent! So much new information to explore, and always clearly presented.\n\nThomas is always great. Interesting subject and new information. Thanks.\n\nThomas is ALWAYS well prepared. He has up to date content, vast knowledge, and great tips for us to follow. Thank you, Thomas.\n\nThomas is so knowledgeable about genealogy tools, it's amazing! He takes the time to experiment with different websites and presents them to us! How does he ever have time to really work on his own genealogy!?\n\nThomas is such a great presenter, primarily because he has grappled with all of our issues before we did, and because of his wealth and depth of experience. He is always a great presenter, but this webinar was incredibly informative, and helpful. Thank him--so much--from each one of us!\n\nThomas is the best!!!\n\nThomas MacEntee aways has the highest quality webinars!!!! He packs it with sooo much information. His handouts are also the most complete for both content and links. He is a genealogical genius!!!! Thank you for having him often!!\n\nThomas MacEntee is a veritable fount of knowledge. I was just about to transcribe some census reports, so will try GenScriber. Thanks!\n\nThomas MacEntee's Webinar presented a lot of useful technology tools. I certainly want to try some of these. Thanks so much!\n\nThomas never disappoints. Great speaker and extremely knowledgeable.\n\nThomas' presentation was magnificent! I plan to watch the webinar again to catch what I missed.\n\nThomas was great as always!!!\n\nThomas' webinars are the best always learn something.\n\nToday was Thomas MacEntee's Webinar Again he DELIVERS!! He is always fresh in presentations he gives! Wonderful\n\nTools are always good and Thomas presents so well\n\nVery good I missed the first 20 minutes so am looking forward to watching the beginning. \n\nVery helpful information I think. I work in our Religious Community archives and we still have German documents and letters hiding in some files. And we have pretty much run out of Sisters able to translate them. I'll keep this syllabus on my desk and try to get familiar with all of these resources and make some notes about using then for future workers. But as the advice "do geneology first" is good, I'll start with what lurks in my own family folders. Thanks much for this and all webinars.\n\nVery helpful! Lots of good tips and some tools I haven't tried!\n\nVery informative, but as a newbie to all of this I am in overload right now. I will definitely use the information I was able to write down but would love to see it again and pick up some additional information, I didn't get written down. Looking forward to more webinars.\n\nvery informative.\n\nVery interesting. Had no idea these tools were available.\n\nVery knowledgeable speaker. Learned some VERY good tools for translating/transcribing. Going to start using a couple of them soon for transcriptions!\n\nVery useful information!\n\nVery useful tips, as always.\n\nvery well presented with lots of good information - thanks!!\n\nWhere do I start? I'm switching over from Irish research, well under way, to Scottish genealogy and love all the options for translations. I had no idea all this was available.
