Digi-workshop. Transkribus: getting started. The basics (video)

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. During this workshop, several features will be discussed: how to get started, what are all the buttons for, how to create TextRegions and Baselines, what is necessary to necessary to create a model. This workshop is organised through a Zoom-meeting; additional questions can be asked through the chat-function. The workshop will be given in English and will be provided by Annemieke Romein, a postdoctoral researcher at HuygensING and experienced Transkribus-user.
