Would anyone be interested ?

Hi there, I don't know much about your project (and about HTR in general), but Old English is what I deal with :)

Hi :) Right now, we have one Old English text if I remember correctly, but I'd love to get a little more 12-15th century English manuscript in the dataset we have :)

I guess you would need manuscript images to train / test HTR software? In that case, I can arrange to have permission by the Biblioteca Capitolare di Vercelli to use the scans of the Vercelli Book (10th century).

Before manuscripts, I am interested in finding people who would like to work in this direction. The data is secondary right now :)

Hi Thibault and Roberto. I could be interested in helping with Middle English. I'm mostly interested in HTR to TEI workflows. RRdT: we'd discussed doing a joint bid sometime, maybe something in this area?

Sounds good to me James!

PS How do you make sure you are replying to all interested parties on BlueSky? I only see James here. @ponteineptique.bsky.social just to be sure :)
