Big issue here is what platform this should be OCR'd into

Doesn't have to be platform-specific. Proofreading can even be done online. Plain text (.txt) is also platform-independent. Just make sure everyone is using the same file encoding or you will end up in a horrendous mess.

The proof reading of OCR'd text, we already have that lined up fairly inexpensively.
