Interessantes Phänomen: Regelwidrige Buchstabenverzierungen in Torarollen. Klar, man dachte damals schon wohlwollend an die armen Leute mit den #HTR Workflows und die Situation mit nicht-lateinischen Schriften. #MultilingualDH #DHd2026

you go on and off for years to improve your reading skills of #Kurrent / #Sütterlin, even trying to adopt the latter as your "secret" handwriting and then: first comes #AI and seems to make all of it redundant as #HTR improves incredibly; then you go to an exhibition at #DHMBerlin and discover that to read #OttovonBismarck (or his secretary) it was all useless in the first place as he seems to have written in a nice, simple #Lateinschrift

Here, a notebook from the excavations at the Agora in the '30s (agathe.gr). The first image shows the llama.cpp server with the screenshot of a notebook. Second and third shots are side-by-side comparisons of the page and the resulting transcription (using Jason's prompt). #dh #handwriting #htr #ocr #gemma #histodons #archaeology

The llama.cpp interface, with the notebook image and the prompt 'do the same again', as I'd already pasted the long prompt in earlier in the conversation against a screenshot from a historic newspaper

The left hand side of the notebook with the gemma-generated transcription on the right. The main text on the page is handwritten and describes a bone button.

The right hand side of the notebook with the gemma-generated transcription on the right. The main text on the page is handwritten and describes a bellows nozzle made from bone. There is a second text at bottom in different ink and a different hand describing a pithos. This bit of text defeated gemma.

Today is *definitely* one of those days where I feel a strong kinship with crime drama authors as a pen & paper RPG storyteller.
Because my last couple search engine queries would *definitely* seem suspicious without context. 🥴

"What's the all-cause mortality rate in Northern Ireland?"
"How long after death does a body get cold?"
"How long after death do people still bleed?"
"Can you buy blood in the UK?"
"Can you sell blood in the UK?"

Bookmarked: CoMMA: thousands of medieval manuscripts finally transcribed | Inria https://www.inria.fr/en/comma-medieval-manuscripts-transcribed #HTR Transcribing thousands of medieval manuscripts by hand would be a monumental undertaking. Fortunately, researchers in computational humanities at the Inria Paris Centre have been able to automate the task through the use of generative AI. Their creation is CoMMA, a giant, one-of-a-kind corpus that will now be available to specialists in the humanit

Kennt jemand gute Einstiegstutorial zum HTR? Ich möchte ein Model für HTR der polnischen und deutschen Handschrift für eigene Forschungszwecke entwickeln, bin ich aber in der Tesseract Dokumentation völlig lost.

Lebt e-Scriptorium-Projekt noch? Kann man den auf eigenem Computer installieren und ausprobieren? #HTR #OCR #eScriptorium #Tesseractocr

Es ist soweit! Gemini 3 transkribiert via AI Studio fast fehlerfrei Hand- und Druckschrift – mit ein klein wenig Hilfe. dhh.hypotheses.org/3934 #OCR #HTR #MKNetwork

구글 AI가 200년 전 장부의 숫자 오류를 스스로 수정했다: Gemini의 추론 능력 발견

구글의 새 Gemini 모델이 18세기 장부를 전문가 수준으로 해독하고, 프롬프트 없이 스스로 논리적 추론을 수행했습니다. AI의 진짜 '이해' 능력에 대한 새로운 증거를 소개합니다.

"Von der Handschrift zum Volltext: HTR in der Digital History"
https://digihistbie.hypotheses.org/771
"Vor wenigen Jahren war Handwritten Text Recognition (#HTR) noch ein Nischenthema in der digitalen Geschichtswissenschaft. Inzwischen gehört sie zum methodischen Repertoire vieler Projekte und das nicht nur, weil sie die ressourcenintensive Arbeit des Transkribierens erleichtert, sondern auch, weil sie neue Perspektiven und Zugänge zu historischen Quellen eröffnet. …

Handwritten Text Recognition hat sich zur Schlüsseltechnologie der digitalen Geschichtswissenschaft entwickelt. Doch die Wahl der Plattform – #Transkribus oder #eScriptorium – ist weit mehr als eine technische Frage:

Die Entscheidung für eine HTR-Plattform beeinflusst auch, wie historische Quellen gelesen, verstanden und ausgewertet werden.

HTR wird so zum epistemischen Instrument, das Forschung nicht nur unterstützt, sondern mitprägt, schreibt Melvin Wilde 👇

I went through the terms and conditions of #transkribus to make my previous post more substantiated and clearer. #atr #htr (This is from the Transkribus user group).

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to collaborate on #HTR model training for early 20th-century #English handwriting.

As part of an Atrium workshop, my colleague Susan & I are trying to prepare #trainingdata to build a special #HTR model for early 20th-century handwriting from the British Isles in #escriptorium. Unfortunately, none of the existing #kraken models worked as a basis. We are now experimenting with different hands & image qualities. Dirty images (see below) distorted our model, so we focus on clean samples. Are other researchers interested in codeveloping a ground truth with us? Let us know!
