How Transkribus works
Transkribus is software that uses artificial intelligence to learn how to read Sütterlin script. To do this, the software first had to be trained with a series of pages that had been transcribed manually. This so-called "ground truth" enables Transkribus to understand and read the Sütterlin script.
The German Giant I model, for example, has been trained with more than 15 million words from many different handwritings. You can use this and other trained AI models to automatically recognize your Kurrent, Sütterlin or Fraktur documents and convert them into normal text.
If you are able and willing to transcribe around 50 pages yourself, you can also train your own AI model. Your own model will then be able to recognize the exact handwriting you are working with.
