Free Public AI Model for Handwritten Text Recognition with Transkribus

Romanian Church Slavonic print – 16th century

Prof. Vladimir Polomac (University of Kragujevac, Serbia) created the Macarius 1.0. generic model for automatic recognition of Romanian Slavonic Early Printed Books (first half of the 16th century, Church Slavonic, Cyrillic Script).

The model was created on the material of Romanian Slavonic Early Printed Books from Târgovişte printing house: the Liturgikon from 1508 and the Teatraevangelion from 1512 from the oldest printing house managed by hieromonk Macarius, as well as the Apostle from 1547 from the printing house managed by Dimitrije Ljubavić.

The process of creating and evaluating the model is described in detail in the following paper:
Macarius: A HTR model for Romanian Early Printed Books, Slavistica Vilnensis 68/2 (2023): 10–23. doi:10.15388/SlavViln.2022.68(2).1
