Transkribus German Kurrent

This model can decipher a wide range of German Kurrent, Sütterlin and Fraktur scripts from 17^th to the 20^th century. The training data set includes nearly 500 000 words and has a CER on the validation set of 5.29%.

Although this model recognises Fraktur (i.e., a print script), we do not recommend to use it on purely or mainly printed material. Better suited for that are our print-only models (‘Transkribus Print’), which cost fewer credits per quantity processed and will also deliver better results for purely printed material.
