Handwritten-text recognition (HTR)

Tools for recognising handwritten text in images, or HTR, are listed on this page.

Transkribus

Free to use on a small scale; you need to pay to run HTR on larger numbers of pages. Transkribus is run by the European cooperative society READ-COOP. Member institutions and persons have more credits for using Transkribus HTR.

Note

Transkribus needs to store your images on their servers for analysis and HTR to work.

Monk

Monk was developed at the RUG. It is not possible to create an account without permission of the creators.

eScriptorium

eScriptorium is an open-source platform for HTR, developed as part of the PSL Scripta project. Permission from the project partners is needed to use the platform, or you need to set up your own service.
