The main objective of Transkribus is to support users who are engaged in the transcription of printed or handwritten documents, namely humanities scholars, archives, members of the public and computer scientists.

Transkribus offers a number of tools for the automated processing of documents, such as:

• Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR)
• Layout Analysis
• Document Understanding
• Writer Identification
• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) using ABBYY Finereader Engine 11

This guide lists some of the Transkribus projects that are happening at the University of Calgary as well as helpful documentation that the project team is using. Contact the project owner listed on the project page if you are interested in learning more.
