Tools to create our Ground Truth
We are working with several related Transkribus Tools and with our own semantic media wiki

Using Transkribus Expert Client
We are using Transkribus Expert Client as our main tool to perform automated layout recognition, manual correction of these layouts, and to enter and modify existing semi-diplomatic transcriptions of material in HCA 13/72.
We are then using Transkribus Lite version 2.0 to view completed Ground Truth pages, and to keep an overview of our work.
Using Transkribus Lite version 2.0
Transkribus has recently introduced an improved version of its web browser interface (Transkribus Liter Version 2.0).
Transkribus has a useful online guide to using Transkribus Lite Version 2.0.
We are finding this improved browser interface to be pretty responsive in terms of short lag times as we browse images.
The browser interface also has useful functionality not available in Transkribus Expert Client.
Most useful to date are:
Large thumbnails Ability to display thumbnails by status of manuscript pages within our work process
Marine Lives wiki
The Marine Lives wiki is a Semantic Media Wiki. It is organised into volumes and pages.
We are working from volume HCA 13/72 and are inputing existing semi-diplomatic transcriptions from this volume by hand into Transkribus Expert Client.
