The app also keeps the PAGE XML format 💪 Because then the interpretative text stays line by line, linked to the regions and coordinates of the original diplomatic HTR. You can open it in Transkribus or eScriptorium and check every reading against the manuscript, not just a loose plain-text edition.

Today at our Winter School on HTR of Historical Sources, we're working with eScriptorium, an open-source platform for transcribing historical documents!
Many thanks to @inriaparisnlp.bsky.social for letting us use their instance and supporting our school! 🙏

The other corpus I work on, the Jerusalem court registers, the sijillāt, has no machine-readable text at all. There the convention is not inherited; we have to set it ourselves. That turns out to be the founding act of the whole project rather than a technical detail.

There is no single best. My own preference is eScriptorium. Personally, the technique is not that hard to acquire. For a beginner, though, I'd point to Transkribus: it is easier to start with, and its cooperative model sits better with me than a purely commercial one.

1. eScriptorium 🆓
I use it daily. It is open-source, browser-based, and strong on right-to-left and non-Latin scripts. There is a catch: you need a server to run it, and shared instances often ask you to release your data and models openly in return.

4/ If you didn't see the articles lately, AI is there in both development and security. Linux Kernels went from an average of 500 CVE / release to 1250 and then 2000 in the span of 4 releases.
And let's say we can see that agentic coding has an impact on our work (and we have only one Hassen).

3/ Because we are an open source software, people install it in place we don't control: that's basically the goal of the decentralization behind eScriptorium.
So we tried to reach out and warn all known instances of the patch (and in some case help them).
From now on, CVEs will be recorded.

2/ For the first time in the history of eScriptorium, and maybe for a project in DH (?), we found security issues that were bad. And I mean very bad for some.
This led us to record 5 CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) and learn to follow a protocol we never had to deal with before.

this is either already OCRed stuff or whatever native capacity is in AnythingLLM; most of my stuff is either published material-- a treatise by Jean Paul Marat from 1773-- or manuscript where I need some kind of transcription thing. working on escriptorium for that

Los colegas de #escriptorium , el mismo software que vamos a usar nosotros, cc/ @ponteineptique.bsky.social
Un buen ejemplo tanto de uso útil de IA en Historia, como de su fiabilidad cuestionable y la imposibilidad de prescindir del especialista humano. Abre mucho campo, aunque también lo abre a la construcción de discurso a partir de errores no comprobados. Tasas de hasta el 20% de error dan que pensar.

eScriptorium continue de buguer à mort sur l'ordi fixe ceci dit, ça me rend chèvre même si c'est beaucoup mieux qu'en mai-juin (et qu'on m'a visiblement filé un modèle de segmentation cool). J'ai fait un retour, pas eu de réponse, après je soupçonne que ça soit une toute petite équipe sur le projet.
