*********Handwritten Text Recognition at IMC Leeds 2017***************

Dear digital medievalists

Going to the IMC in Leeds 2017?

On Wednesday July 5th project READ will organize a workshop covering everything you need to know about Handwritten Text Recognition and our tool Transkribus:

The workshop will show how the Transkribus transcription platform can be used to perform the automated transcription and searching of handwritten documents. It will give an overview of the technology and explain how accurate automatic recognition can be. Workshop participants will use their own laptops to experiment with Transkribus during the session.

All welcome (no need to be registered for the IMC).

If you’re interested in the results, READ is sponsoring session 139 on Monday:
