Handwriting recognition

Transkribus offers advanced handwriting and text recognition based on artificial intelligence. Turn handwriting into digital text without the hassle of manual transcription, or easily generate accurate transcriptions of printed texts.

AI customisation

Transkribus makes it easy to train custom AI models to suit your and your customers’ needs. This allows you to adapt the AI to recognise any kind of handwritten, printed, or typewritten text, in any language, and from any time period.

API integration

Transkribus can also be accessed via the metagrapho API. With this simple, lightweight API, you can integrate AI handwriting recognition into your own workflow or software.

Batch processing

Transkribus was designed to process large volumes of documents effectively and efficiently. Thanks to the powerful infrastructure, millions of pages can be processed per year.

Many clients today want their material not just scanned but also made accessible. By integrating Transkribus into your toolkit, you can easily create accessible, digital versions of analogue material, giving your clients the ability to search, share, and preserve their documents in digital form.

Beat regular OCR

As an AI-based system, Transkribus easily outperforms regular OCR systems. By creating custom AI models that are tailored to your specific documents, it can produce transcriptions that are up to ten times more accurate than those from traditional OCR systems.

Transkribus isn't run by a company but by a cooperative: READ-COOP. Any person, organisation, or institution can become a member of READ-COOP and take advantage of all the benefits membership brings, such as having a say in business decisions, enjoying a high level of transparency, and accessing Transkribus products and services at a discount. By collaborating as a cooperative, we can work together to collectively unlock history and make its stories accessible to everyone.

Benefit from advanced layout recognition

Transkribus does more than just recognise text. It also detects the layout of documents, and replicates this in the digital version. With custom Field and Table Models, you can even train the software to recognise specific layout elements, such as tables, headlines, or index card numbers, and then only transcribe the elements that are actually relevant for your project.

Build your own custom workflow

The Transkribus platform comes with a number of tools and services that can be combined but also provide value independently of each other. From text recognition, layout analysis, and searching tools, to annotation features, the metagrapho API, and seamless publishing with Transkribus Sites— you can decide which tools bring the most value to your clients.

Integrate handwritten text recognition into your own workflow

Relying on the metagrapho API allows you to set up your own workflow for turning images of documents into digital text. Be it a large digitisation project or a custom application that needs to have a text recognition step included, the metagrapho API has you covered. Our own application transkribus.ai, which was built on the metagrapho API, is just one such example.
