There is a free online transcribing tool now available, which a limited number of people may may useful:
'Transkribus' is an AI-powered platform for text recognition, transcription
and searching of historical documents – from any place, any time, and in any language. https://readcoop.eu/transkribus/It works with both printed and handwritten text (probably works best with printed text).
On their website you first select a pre-programmed model, which has been designed for a specific document type, (e.g. typewritten latin, Dutch Gothic Print 16th-18th century etc etc.) there are 120 public models available.
https://readcoop.eu/transkribus/public-models/You find the closest fit to your document type/ text, then click 'view and try model' - upload your
document into the window - Jpeg or PNG only - it then transcribes the document into the language of the model.
I have been trying out this TransKribus software on 16th Century, untidily hand written scots/latin documents for a few weeks now and apart from the odd intelligible sentence here and there, have had no success whatsoever!
Good Luck!
PS Don't ask me any questions about this AI powered software - because I don't know anything.
