About this Model

This model is a combination of the 18th Century models from the Amsterdam City Archives (3500+ scans of 15 notarial handwritings) and the National Archives of the Netherlands (3500+ scans of VOC handwritings). The training set includes 1 384 893 words and the CER is 5,67%. When using models big as this one it makes sense to add the suitable language model (to be found at “Dictionary” in the recognition configuration in Transkribus) for your documents, or a base model, if you have already trained a model for your documents.
