About this Model
There are a number of old German Scripts that were used in the German speaking World between the 16th and 20th century. On the one hand, there were a number of handwritings including Kurrent Script, Sütterlin, Offenbacher Script. But there were also some printed Scrpits such as Fraktur or Antiqua.
With the help of Transkribus accessing and searching a large number of historical documents – written in old German Scripts – is today possible. By using one of the public models or a own model, thousands of historical documents can be automatically converted into text.
