Hello, I have some letters handwritten by my great-grandfather from the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1943/1944. Few of them have been transcribed by hand. They are quite a lot and really not easy to read (you can understand the situation) also if the pen trace is good and well preserved.
I am wondering if some of these new AI tools can help me transcribe them. I don’t expect an automatic transcription, but any help would be welcome 😊
No direct help from my side but I wanted to wish you good luck!
It would perhaps help others to help you if you briefly outlined what you tried already and where it strugglesI e in theory chatgpt can transcribe and I think so can Claude. If you can give an example page even better.
If you use an already manually transcribed page you can even make a quick diff to estimate quality.
Again, good luck!
