Transkribus webinar by Annemieke Romein

Creating transcriptions can be a tedious job. The computer tool Transkribus can ease the process after some training. In this digital workshop, the basics of the program will be demonstrated, and some practical examples are going to be given. The following features are discussed: how to get started, what are all the button’s for, how to create Text Regions and Baselines, what is necessary to necessary to create a model. This workshop was organised through a Zoom-meeting. The workshop is in English and is provided in by Annemieke Romein, a postdoctoral researcher at Huygens ING and experienced Transkribus-user.
