Stolze-Schrey_combined

This is the first model version for the German Stolze-Schrey shorthand system, which is largely based on synthetic, but also natural training data. Synthetic training data, electronically available longhand texts converted into the corresponding shorthand system, were taken from the following page:https://www.vsteno.ch/php/library.php. The natural training data consists of a few pages of private field post in letter and postcard format from 1939. The model was trained by Milanka Matić-Chalkitis as part of the MultiHTR project (project leader: Prof. Dr. Achim Rabus) at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures of the University of Freiburg (Germany). It offers initial assistance for handwritten documents written in Stolze-Schrey shorthand by automatically generating a kind of 'pre-transcription'.
