Working with historical documents can be challenging. Handwriting, layout and image quality often make them difficult to read or search. Transkribus is one of the most popular tools for automatic text recognition and processing of historical documents. But more than just a technology, it is a tool that bridges the gap between manuscript and digital, between memory and algorithm. This webinar will introduce the Transkribus user interface and provide an overview of the Transkribus workflow. During the webinar you will learn how to upload documents to Transkribus, use public models for automatic recognition and even train custom AI models that are able to recognise the specific fonts of your documents.We will go through the workflow step by step and have time to answer your questions at the end.

Historical documents often contain tables that standard layout recognition can't quite handle. Table Models solve this by allowing you to train the AI to recognise the specific grid structures in your own documents.During the webinar, you will learn about the benefits of using Table Models, how to prepare documents, and how to train your own custom models.We will go through the workflow step by step and have time to answer your questions at the end.

Historical documents rarely consist of simple blocks of text. They often contain marginalia, stamps, specific header regions or form-based fields, all of which can be difficult to capture. Field models enable you to train the AI to recognise and categorise these areas automatically.During the webinar, you will learn about the benefits of using Field Models, how to prepare documents, and how to train your own models to automatically recognise a wide range of layout types.We will go through the workflow step by step and have time to answer your questions at the end.

Transkribus es una de las herramientas más potentes y utilizadas en la actualidad para el reconocimiento automático de texto en documentos históricos. Pero más que una simple tecnología, es una puerta de entrada a los archivos patrimoniales, una herramienta que tiende puentes entre lo manuscrito y lo digital, entre la memoria y el algoritmo. En este seminario web, vamos a recorrer juntos la interfaz de usuario de Transkribus y a explorar cómo funciona el proceso general de trabajo. Aprenderemos cómo cargar (o upload) documentos en la plataforma, cómo aplicar modelos públicos para el reconocimiento automático de texto, y también cómo entrenar nuestros propios modelos de inteligencia artificial para que puedan leer y transcribir, con gran precisión, las caligrafías (hands) particulares de nuestros documentos. Revisaremos ese recorrido paso a paso, desde la primera carga hasta la exportación final, y al cierre habrá espacio para responder preguntas, compartir experiencias y abrir nuevos caminos para el trabajo con fuentes manuscritas.
