+ Read our 2016 reports!

The READ project receives funding from the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 programme.  As a condition of this funding, we are required to produce reports where we explain all the work that has been undertaken across each year of the project.

Our first set of reports (known as ‘deliverables’) have just been submitted and are now available on our Publications page.  They should make interesting reading for anyone keen to know more about the potential of Handwritten Text Recognition.

Have a look through the titles and see which area of our work most interests you.  You can read about the progress of our research on Layout Analysis, Document Understanding, Image Enhancement and Writer Identification.  There is also information on the new tools we are developing for crowdsourcing, e-learning and document scanning.  You can also find out about the different historical collections that we are working with.

We will be blogging more about some of our 2016 milestones over the next few weeks.  If you’re looking for more of an overview, why not read our blog post where we recapped the highlights from the project’s first year!
