This model is the product of long-term experimentation. It has been trained on Danish Gothic handwriting from the late 18th century until the transition to modern handwriting in 1875, and the training material consists primarily of parish council minutes from various city and local archives in the Retro Project. Johan Heinsen, Associate Professor of History at Aalborg University, has also contributed a large amount of material. It has an overall error rate of 4.7%, but as the training material is quite narrow, it can still be somewhat imprecise. Alternatively, you can try the
‘19th century Danish gothic handwriting v.1.1’ model, which has a higher error rate of 6.7%, but is also based on more training material and therefore works better in some cases.
