Transkribus – Handwritten Text Recognition in practice, Digikult 2018

This presentation will describe how the READ-project is developing new technologies that will allow computers to automatically process and search handwritten historical documents. These technologies are brought together in the free Transkribus platform, which enables scholars with no in-depth technological knowledge to freely access and exploit algorithms which can automatically process handwritten text.
