On April 6th, 2022, Sara Mansutti led a one-day workshop entitled Transkribus and Handwritten Text Recognition at University College Cork.

Workshop Recordings:

Transkribus is a comprehensive platform for the automated recognition, transcription and searching of historical documents. In recent years, it has become increasingly well-known among digital humanists, historians and anyone studying manuscripts and archival documents with a need to automatically transcribe handwritten texts.

The workshop was offered in partnership with the Department of Digital Humanities at UCC.

Sara Mansutti is a PhD student in Digital Humanities at University College Cork. She completed a master's degree in Italian Philology and Literature at the University of Udine in 2017. Part of her master's thesis, involving the transcription and analysis of a mid-sixteenth-century manuscript inventory of books, has been published in the volume Printing R-Evolution and Society 1450-1500. Fifty Years that Changed Europe (2020). Her PhD project, in connection with the EURONEWS project funded by the Irish Research Council, focuses on the letters and newsletters sent by Cosimo Bartoli, Florentine agent in Venice, to the Medici between 1562 and 1572. After applying Handwritten Text Recognition to transcribe the documents, she has designed a community-based project called "Cosimo's Cosmos: Cosimo Bartoli and Renaissance News" to create a digital edition of Bartoli's documents.
