Transkribus is one of the most popular tools for AI-based automated transcription of manuscripts and prints. Developed at the University of Innsbruck , users can access various tools and support from the community, which now has well over 100,000 users and is constantly publishing new models, thus making accessible and re-usable research available in the spirit of Open Science. In this Tool Gallery, participants will learn how to use Transkribus in order to utilise the possibility of automated text transcription for their documents.
