Check this out: SpLAT, @dissco.bsky.social's Specimen Label Automatic Transcription service, uses #AI to capture text from labels of #naturalhistory specimens. The text is formatted and added to the #DigitalSpecimen as an annotation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1gA... @horizoneu.bsky.social

Soulaine Theocharides, from @dissco.bsky.social tech team, attended @fosdem.org 26 to present #DiSSCover our platform for curation and annotation of #digitalspecimen for experts and AI systems.
