Have you used Transkribus or other Handwritten Text Recognition software?

Question

Hi all!

Does anyone here have experience with Transkribus (or other Handwritten Text Recognition software)? I am asking because I am doing research into this topic, specifically relating to it's use in heritage collections in libraries and archives, for my library and information services diploma and just general interest. I would love to hear about your experiences with the software, especially if you have used it in the course of your genealogy or history research.

Thanks!

Hi Oscar,

I work at a university library and we have used both Transkribus and other HTR software.

It is not for genealogy or history research we use it at the moment. If you still would like to know about it, you're welcome to contact me using private message on my profile.

Kind regards

Maria
