I'm currently working on a OCR/HTR "editor-in-the-loop" browser tool.
It has rule-based and LLM-based validation recommendations. You can load Page XML, IIIF and images into it, and use Gemini 3 Flash (or whatever you want to use) for transcribing (or your local DeepSeek OCR 2 via Ollama), before exporting it in different formats. HTR will be getting more tricky. But for OCR the DeepSeek OCR 2 is very good.
Retractions are strongly correlated with prior PubPeer comments. The numbers surprised me. Evidence that PubPeer genuinely serves as an early-warning system for readers and users of articles.
