+ Date for your diary! The first Transkribus User Conference comes to Vienna in November 2017

We’re delighted to announce that we will be organising a dedicated conference for Transkribus users this November.

The Transkribus User Conference will take place at the Technical University Vienna on 2-3 November 2017.  It will be a forum for new and more experienced users of our platform to find out more about the capabilities of Transkribus and the latest research into Automated Text Recognition for print and handwriting.

You can expect suggestions of the best practice for working with Transkribus, presentations on the accuracy of Automated Text Recognition and demonstrations of new tools like our e-learning app for reading historical documents and DocScan, our mobile app for digitising historical papers with a mobile phone.  We will also hear use cases and results from archivists and researchers who have been working with Transkribus intensively.  Finally, the conference will be a valuable opportunity for us to hear from our users – we need your feedback on the Transkribus infrastructure and our aim of revolutionizing access to historical collections.

Registration details and a full programme will be announced soon – watch this space!
