Transkribus: Reviewing HTR training on (Greek) manuscripts

Transkribus is a fully developed GUI (graphical user interface) platform offering (among others) the possibility to train HTR models with AI. It supports auto-transcription and searching of historical documents and is oriented towards Archives, Libraries, and researchers. This review describes most of Transkribus’ features by outlining the results of a project researching HTR on Greek manuscripts. Transkribus proves to be a useful solution for painlessly implementing state-of-the-art technology on Humanities, regardless of technical expertise or resources’ limitations. Any discussion in this review for further development of the platform is only provided given some of the Greek manuscripts’ peculiarities.
