Kathy ReidAsa Letourneau talking #OCR and handwriting recognition with #Transkribus at Public Records Victoria. From no knowledge of #AI to a working service in 12 months. Reflecting on learnings about #DataSovereignty.
Daniel Baránek@KathyReid I strongly doubt that Transkribus leads to data sovereignity. You cannot download the created models and transfer them to another service. The service is not opensource. It is paid. It is rather vendor lock-in. I prefer opensource #eScriptorium.
Monika Barget@daelba @KathyReid I also recommend #OCR4all. While e-Scriptorium runs on the kraken engine, OCR4all, uses Calamari. Once you have training data in e-Scriptorium, you can also potentially use them to train models in OCR4all. Depending on your discipline, the existing models for e-Scriptorium are 'better' than those for OCR4all or vice-versa, but both tools are highly recommended.
