Free Public AI Model for Handwritten Text Recognition with Transkribus

Russian Handwriting early 20th century

This model is trained on the Russian part of bilingual Evenki/Russian manuscripts by Konstantin Rychkov dated 1911-1913, following pre-reform Cyrillic orthography. These are texts of various genres (folklore, personal narratives, shamanistic rites) collected in different Evenki dialects and translated into Russian. The training set comprises 581 half-pages (59300 words) from several folders of the Rychkov archive. PyLaia engine, 72 epochs.

The model is provided by the INEL project (“Grammatical Descriptions, Corpora, and Language Technology for Indigenous Northern Eurasian Languages”), https://inel.corpora.uni-hamburg.de/.
The archive of Konstantin Rychkov is preserved at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts RAS, http://www.orientalstudies.ru/. A lower-resolution version of selected manuscripts is accessible at http://www.orientalstudies.ru/rus/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10326&Itemid=149
