Von der Handschrift zum Volltext: HTR in der Digital History
Vor wenigen Jahren war Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) noch ein Nischenthema in der digitalen Geschichtswissenschaft. Inzwischen gehört sie zum methodischen Repertoire vieler Projekte und das nicht nur, weil sie die ressourcenintensive Arbeit des Transkribierens erleichtert, sondern auch, weil sie neue Perspektiven und Zugänge zu historischen Quellen eröffnet.

Dark clouds and silhouetted landforms frame the horizon, while rocks in the foreground anchor the composition. The image carries both the immediacy of natural drama and the patina of early digital photography.
