From the article:
Using artificial intelligence, computers can decipher handwritten texts and make them readable for everyone. The Transkribus platform, co-developed at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, makes this technology available to scholars and the general public. An ever-growing group of people are using Transkribus to research their family history. Recently, users from all over the world met in Innsbruck.
Note from blog owner:
The author of this article also mentions that "a recent study by the University of Edinburgh revealed that more than 400 scientific publications have now been produced with the help of Transkribus."
