Your workspace for collaborative transcription
Projects bring together collections, AI models, datasets, and published sites under one roof. Organize your work, invite your team, and open it up to the community.
Sound familiar?
Collections and models scattered with no structure
You have dozens of collections and multiple AI models, but no way to group them by research project.
Sharing results means sending links back and forth
You want colleagues to see your transcription work, but there is no simple way to share a whole project.
No way for your team to work on the same documents together
You need transcribers, reviewers, and editors working in parallel — but everyone is on their own.
