About this Model

The model “Jaemtlands_domsaga 1.0” is trained on 493 455 words from court books from Jämtland county in Sweden – Jämtlands läns domsaga, from the years 1647-1688. The books are the original ones written by different local writers on location (not the copies that were written later and sent in to the royal court in Stockholm – “renoverade domböcker”). The texts are written in Swedish. The transcripts that are used are not 100% true to the original spelling. Some abbreviations are spelled out (for example r:dr = riksdaler) there are also a few remarks made in the transcripts in brackets. The CER is 5.30%.
