New from @caromein.bsky.social and a bunch of the @transkribus.bsky.social crew, on planning HTR: "From research proposal to project management. A guide from the Transkribus community on planning and executing workflows for researchers and GLAM-professionals" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Due to high demand, we brought @transkribus.bsky.social to #BSSDH2025 – and we’re glad we did. @caromein.bsky.social is an amazing teacher!

Hi there! A Transkribus user requested me to post the following: this person is looking for a #student interested in using @transkribus.bsky.social with a background in #geology or #geotechnical-engineering. They are interested in donating you a nice amount of credits to use on Transkribus.

Now that summer is in full swing, you might need this Comprehensive Guide to Yellow Stripey Things, so you can tell harmless bumblebees (you can pet them!) from “asshole” yellow jackets. [kottke.org]

Keep it in mind!!! (Rights of the image to the respective owner, it was posted on fb without any reference).

#DHBenelux2025 demo time! Come and meet @transkribus.bsky.social and ask me anything!

Come find me at the #DHBenelux2025 #DHB2025 if you want to know more about the Read coop/ @transkribus.bsky.social (tomorrow I am there for a demo)

1587 - how right he was! 🏔️

Since 2019, READ-COOP has pushed the boundaries of AI text recognition in collaboration with our members, team, and Transkribus users. Now, you can read some their stories in "Praeteritum transcriptum"—a READ-COOP tribute publication curated by @caromein.bsky.social and the team 👇 bit.ly/44IacFr

A small update to my profile… as of yesterday, I am the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of @transkribus.bsky.social. A humble thank you to our members for your trust in the new board! Let us unlock every doc! 📖

I just love how early modern research (on the content) can go hand in hand with methodological approaches and studies! Very happy this article is there!

New study compares state-of-the-art Handwritten Text Recognition engines—PyLaia, IDA, and TrOCR—for digitizing historical documents. Findings highlight the impact of language models and diverse datasets on recognition accuracy. Read more: rdcu.be/elLLR #DigitalHumanities #HTR #HistoricalDocuments

Gotten myself this nice jewel. I am after all, an early modernist!

Bye bye Baltics 😘 till we meet again! The @dhnb.bsky.social has been a blast! So many cool projects and inspiration!

The poster session at the #DHNB is a wonderful opportunity to engage in talks about #READCOOP and @transkribus.bsky.social!

We're not only stateside this week: Transkribus community director @caromein.bsky.social gave an insightful workshop at #dhnb2025 in #Tartu yesterday, helping users get started with the platform. Thanks to Carmen Kurg for the photos! @dhnb.bsky.social

Yesterday evening I arrived in #Tartu (Estonia) to attend the #DHNB2025 here! Looking forward to giving (a) workshop(s) and poster on @transkribus.bsky.social and having a poster on my own project within #HAIcu! Looking forward to meeting loads of new people and hearing about their research!

Strahov library was amazing to visit! @pcpsce.bsky.social thanks for organising it! 300,000 books 📚- and sadly, no conservation department 😱

Happy to be in Prague to participate and learn more about early modern print culture and #digitalhumanities in the Cost Action @pcpsce.bsky.social. And of course, meet people from all over Europe!

Submitted an co-authored article on project management this week. Was fun writing and hope it will get published. Awesome to work with 20(!) others to ensure covering so most aspects of our work. 🤞🏻

Paris was very inspiring! Thank you CHR2023, I have learned a lot.

Dat worden 4(?) jaren met nul beleid want elke klimaatslopende maatregel zal voor de rechter worden gesleept en worden tegengehouden. Kabinet over rechts is doodlopende weg, maar rouwverwerking in NL over ‘hoe het leven ooit was, maar de 🌍 is te klein’ duurt erg lang, te lang. Zo zonde.

😶

Writing bubble 🫧 😍.

Such an amazing eye-opener! After my workshop in Frankfurt I had a participant from Uganda telling me how wonderful @transkribus.bsky.social could work in his country to help judges read evidence/wills/documents from both sides, thus supporting the independence of judges! I sure hope it will do!

On my way to Frankfurt! Going to work on the ontology for police ordinances… 🚆

Fantastisch eindelijk het werk van prof Hugo de Schepper in handen te hebben 😍! Geweldig. #vnvng #regeringsraden #inspiratie

#OTD (Oct 24) in the year 1648: The Peace of Westphalia is signed, marking the end of the Thirty Years' War and the Eighty Years' War. #OTDIH #history 🗃️ #EarlyModern #17thc

⏰ at 4:45h, 🚴 at 5:25h and 🚊 at 5:55h. Need to be in Amsterdam at about 7:30h to ensure that I can make the room ready for my students to take their exam at 8:30h. I do 😴 of sleeping right now…

Finished my third assignment (hospitation) for my (additional) training (ECHA). Was long overdue… done it weeks ago but not taken the time to scribble down 2 pages 🙄. Still one to go, but I have about 11 months before it is due. But… admittedly, it is very interesting!
