🙋🏻‍♀️Question for anyone who transcribes manuscripts: which phenomenon is the most painful to encode by hand?

I'm building an editor that does the encoding for you, and I want to start from what hurts most!

So, we tried to remind attendees at the #DH2026 conference that maintaining and developing a community-based standard needs resources from that community.

Become a member of the #TEI consortium!

Text Encoding Initiative Do you use the TEI? Are you a TEI Member? https://tei-c.org TEI The Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (2017 ADHO Antonio Zampolli Prize award winners) is a nonprofit membership organization composed of academic institutions, research projects, and individual scholars from around the world. We develop the Guidelines, which provide the infrastructure for developing machine-actionable cultural heritage texts. The TEI Guidelines have been widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to present texts for online research, teaching, and preservation. The TEI Consortium openly licenses and freely releases all of its outputs. The maintenance and further development of the TEI Guidelines and associated software i ree by volunteers and the t onc a year, and supporting the infrastructure of the TEI have risen dramatically over the years. TEI Consortium members get a range of benefits from voting to discounts on software and conferences. Please consider joining the TEI Consortium as an individual, project, or institution to support the work of these volunteers! Join the TEI Consortium https://members.org/ioin

If you use or facilitate the use of EpiDoc (or any other TEI or non-TEI XML encoding) for publication of inscriptions, papyri, seals or other ancient texts and text-bearing objects, you surely have opinions on standards, interoperability+sustainability currentepigraphy.org/2026/06/22/c...

Working on something for everyone who has ever spent hours typing XML-TEI tags by hand.

Transcribing Occitan chansonniers, most of my time went into encoding. So I'm building a web editor for diplomatic and interpretative transcription where the encoding does itself. Testers welcome!

Screenshot of a web editor for manuscript transcription. On the left, folio 18v of an Occitan chansonnier (BAV, Vat. lat. 5232), with a large blue initial S and a red rubric "Girautz de Borneill". On the right, the diplomatic transcription line by line, with abbreviations and regularizations highlighted in colour. Glyph picker for the letter Q, showing MUFI variants: Q with abbreviation strokes for "qui" and "quod", a small q, and Q with dot and macron.
