Cemetery Editing, Management and Cemetery Transcription Software

Cemetery Transcription Software help.

CemEditor2 has many new improvements including 16 new entry fields, faster importing, and a more user friendly entry screen.

The CemEditor is designed for individuals searching their ancestry, family historians, groups, genealogy and historical societies, cemeteries and other organizations desiring to organize a cemetery transcription. It will provide a very useful searchable database when complete. It also works great to combine and manage all family cemetery pictures in one convenient package.

Add this Cemetery Information Management software to your family tree and genealogy software collection.

The CemEditor2 software easily organizes and manages cemetery photos and transcriptions into a searchable database. It allows entry of the inscription information contained on the monuments to be entered into the database. The CemEditor includes features to publish information on CD*. Additional utilities which can be purchased separately will create web pages, books, and books with pictures.

It also works great as a transcription tool to print out your reports in alphabetical or by the location in the cemetery. Take photos at the cemetery and transcribe them in the comfort of your home. Information can be easily imported to or exported from the CemEditor if you already have it entered in another application.

It works with or without pictures, however when photos are included, these CDs become a great resource. The only real limit of data to be published on the CD is the CD size of 700mb. A CD should easily hold over 5,000 names and 10,000 to 15,000 pictures with a normal resolution picture sized at 640 X 480 which is about 68kb per photo. Larger photos will work too.

If you a already have the information entered you can import it directly into the Editor by saving as a CSV file. CSV is a format many popular word processors, databases and spreadsheets can save or export to.

To publish information on a CD in addition to this software you will need CD Writer and Software. If you are using Windows XP you already have the CD writing software you need.
