Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Existing transcripts for historic manuscripts are a very valuable resource for training models useful for automatic recognition, aided transcription, and/or indexing of the remaining untranscribed parts of these collections. Hover, these existing transcripts generally exhibit two main problems which hinder their convenience: a) text of the transcripts is seldom aligned with manuscript lines, and b) text often deviate very significantly from what can be seen in the manuscript, either because writing style has been modernized or abbreviations have been expanded, or both. This work presents an analysis of these problems and discusses possible solutions for minimizing human effort needed to adapt existing transcripts in order to render them usable. Empirical results presented show the huge performance gain that can be obtained by adequately adapting the transcripts, thus motivating future development of the proposed solutions.
