Ginnie,

We have been very happy with Transkribus and they recently updated their models to account for tables and ledger formats. Happy to share some of our experience if you would like. We've been really happy with the quality of output and accuracy, and have used it for non-English materials which has been great.

Hi OhioDIG-

I'm working with a faculty member who is looking for advice on turning some printed data collection tables with handwritten content into a tabular format (without having to manually transfer or retype it).

I tried a few tests using ABBY FineReader to convert an image and PDF version of one sample page, but the results were pretty awful.

Anyone work on anything like this and/or have an idea? One of our librarians suggested trying ChatGPT, though I'm not sure if this data would be a good candidate or not, and another suggested Transkribus- https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.transkribus.org%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cgfreeman%40columbuslibrary.org%7C7fdf4ea7654845e60b8308dd5776a300%7C12a73dd2d5ad4e6eb36f9bf5be4e4ddd%7C0%7C0%7C638762889257286011%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=D4464bO9gvR0142horJSB4l%2Fz6z%2F3aHEyIlv5RjVzf8%3D&reserved=0<https://www.transkribus.org/>
