Annika Rockenberger (she/they)🧵 1/ It's #Wednesday, which means #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO at the Dept. of Archaeology, Conservation and History again! Today I will be in the History section, catching up on some questions I received via email and drafting a presentation of #TaDiRAH for an upcoming #DigitalMeetup.
🧵 2/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO I often get asked about how to quickly search through (handwritten) archival documents. Depending on how many documents we are talking about, there certainly are quicker ways then reading them! But setting up a workflow for #Digitisation, #AutomaticTextRecognition #QualityAssurance aren't done quickly either! Accessible tools like #Transkribus can help a lot here, but they can't do magic. So: plan enough time for these tasks and don't expect 100% accuracy!
🧵 3/ #ResearchSupportPartnershipUiO continues after lunch w/ my "adopted" colleagues from the #History section. I had a coordinating & getting-to-know meeting to set up some presentations and show-and-tell sessions for the Depts. #DigitalMeetup that happens every #Tuesday. I offered to do short sessions on #TaDiRAH, #Transkribus, #Tropy and #Tesseract during the fall. I'll use the 1678 #Danish translation of the #EthicaComplementoria as an example for #AutomatedTextRecognition of C17th books!
