Maps dude. Old maps are gonna kill me. What the fuck are they even labelling anyway.
I’m in the middle of my middle ages module in uni and the professors are beginning to talk about letters from the pope and Karl the great. Should I be worried?
No, be grateful for the grad student who already did the heavy lifting for you.
I’m writing a book. I have nearly 500 old newspaper sources of wildly varying quality and formats, as well as journal entries and the like. You’d think it’d be as simple as OCR, but OOOOHHHH NOOOO! I’m so happy someone understands my nightmare.

Curious whether you had luck with any of these? I found Transcribus awhile back and heard angels singing. It seemed so perfect. But I didn’t have much better luck than with OCR options out of the box and custom training a model seems like nearly as much work as just transcribing, and I’m skeptical the result wouldn’t be flawed and require a lot of manual fixes.
I have had pretty good luck with it, but also think about considering trying ChatGPT now that it’s got vision. There are now libraries for typed print on transcribus. Worth a shot, since you get 500 free credits.
Still better than the Jared Leto attempt to merge with the Joker.
