It will “activate” it as a the current active document by printing the name in bold. Display your uploaded pages by (double) clicking on them in the collection. To check whether it’s already there, you might want to make use of the refresh button. Once the document is uploaded, it might take a few minutes for it to show up in your collection and be accessible. Refresh the collection if the document isn’t there yet. CITlab HTR.ĭetail view of the “extract from PDF” option I ever only have three different types of jobs in this listing: 1. Once you’re back Transkribus will be done too.
Or you can just use the cup of coffee as a prompt to go and get a cup of coffee. You can use this to check whether you’ve already done something, in case you’re a bit lost today. It contains a list of past and still running jobs. Meanwhile, you might want to explore the “Jobs” button or tab, denoted by a little cup of coffee. When you get tired of waiting, refresh the jobs page every three seconds ? While this process runs, Transkribus will “freeze”, click “Minimize” to be able to do something else during the upload. Before you do this step, again please be sure that you are in the right collection where the document is supposed to be ‘unpacked’ into. For example the German digitization initiatives like VD-17 provide much better data. There are many books digitized by Google but try to get your data from another source if possible. As you are probably aware, your results will get better with better input data.

The easiest way for me is to use a PDF (Option “Extract and upload images from PDF”). You can also share those with colleagues who also have a Transkribus account so you can work on a transcription collaboratively (In the “User Manager” > “Find user”). Everybody has access to some pre-installed collections for the purpose of teaching yourself Transkribus but you can also set up private collections from your account. The login and the user manager where you can add colleagues to collaborate. If they are still displayed because your login just expired and you do something, you might be redirected and I’m not sure if data could be lost or something. Otherwise you won’t be able to access ‘your collections’.
Then, the first thing you need to do: Log in! Always login in first and make sure your account name or email is displayed somewhere and the login is active. That way, most of the little buttons are just distracting and Transkribus’s User Interface can be a bit intimidating for novice users. I, however, just use it as a general purpose OCR tool for historical texts as it works just great on early modern print if you have the right model for your font.Īs I said, I don’t use all of Transkribus’s functionalities, for me it’s just a tool to get a quick OCR / HTR transcription of early modern Latin and German print texts. Its purpose is Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) which is something like OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for handwritten texts such as manuscripts. Today I wanted to share a little quickstart tutorial for the Transkribus Software.
