Integrating Transkribus data in the digital infrastructure at the National Library of Norway (NLN)
In this talk, we will present our HTR workflow using the APIs of our digital library and Transkribus (https://transkribus.eu/TrpServer/Swadl/wadl.html). First, we import image data from with metadata via IIIF to Transkribus. Then, in Transkribus, we do Layout Analysis and Text Recognition, either by pretrained models, or by training and fine-tuning our own models.  We use the "split lines into words" ALTO XML export with some minor modifications with regards to the position data. Finally, the ALTO XML is imported into the digital library and exposed to the users using a IIIF viewer with text annotations.
