Results can now be seen at the public Transkribus seminar at the National Archives of Finland in Helsinki on **Wednesday 26.6.2019**! The Transkribus platform enables non-technical users to train neural networks in order to recognize and search historical documents. The seminar will provide an update on latest technical developments and showcase how Transkribus can be used in various scenarios. Moreover, a first version of a web-interface for searching Finnish Court records from the 19th century will be launched. With this search interface users can search historical documents in a “Google like” way. The READ project is currently in the transformation to become one of the first European Cooperative Societies in the research, education and cultural heritage domain. Institutions and private persons are warmly invited to join this initiative.
