'The Swedish National Archives makes one million handwritten documents searchable' https://riksarkivet.se/inlagg/riksarkivet-gor-en-miljon-handskrivna-dokument-sokbara - the Universal Viewer plus AI text transcription!

Congratulations to everyone at the Riksarkivet who worked so hard on this! #AI4LAM #UniversalViewer

Riksarkivet gör en miljon handskrivna dokument sökbara

I ett banbrytande steg mot att göra historisk information i arkiven mer tillgänglig har Riksarkivet gjort över en miljon handskrivna dokument till sökbar text med hjälp av artificiell intelligens.

Initially, I was using #Tify, which looks nice and was easy enough. But it doesn’t seem to support continuous display. I tried #UV #UniversalViewer as well, but it also seems to ignore the behavior. #Mirador, otoh, actually does what I want (yay!), but it feel more like embedding an application into my page rather than a simple viewer component (and it ignores sizing of the container).

A question for people who've implemented the IIIF Universal Viewer - how much did you change the default look and feel? e.g. colours / typography, layout of elements, other config options? And more to the point, why?

We've been wondering why people change the default as a way into understanding what people need the UV to do in their context
