Unquoted dialogue

I have a text file, scanned from typewritten pages, of an unpublished novel of ~300,000 words. It was written by a deceased person, the daughter would like to publish it, if only for family and friends. She's asked me if there's a way to automate wrapping the dialogue in quotes.

It's quite hard to read the text without the quotes. There is no other copy, just some hand written story line notes, and exploratory fragments.

Any ideas? Apart from double space printing, oodles of time, and a pot of red ink
