As answered by people managing React-Ionic and wondarchive.
wondarchive's answer:
It does the whole job on archive photos, not just the reading: - straightens the photos taken in the reading room and files them by collection, call number and folio; - transcribes typewritten, printed, Fraktur and handwritten pages, without training a model; - translates each page into your language (14 languages), with the context of the neighbouring pages; - extracts names, places and dates, and makes the whole collection searchable; - always shows the photo next to the text, so every passage can be checked and cited.
wondarchive's answer:
Choose it if you have photographed a collection in the reading room and need to read, translate and search it, rather than produce a line-by-line edition of a single hand: - no model to train: manuscripts are read by an enhanced review, print and typescript in plain reading; - translation included, page by page, which most transcription tools leave out; - images hosted in France and never used to train models; - 100 pages free for a year, then from €39.99 incl. VAT a year for 2,500 pages transcribed. For a scholarly edition built on a model trained on one hand, Transkribus or eScriptorium remain the right tools.
wondarchive's answer:
Researchers who work from photos of archival documents: - historians and PhD students back from an archive trip with thousands of photos; - genealogists with parish registers, civil records or family letters, often in a language or a script they read poorly (old German Kurrent, Latin, Fraktur); - research labs and funded projects sharing a common collection.
