Transkribus is a research infrastructure which enables humanities scholars, memory organizations such as archives, libraries and museums, and public users to benefit from cutting edge research in pattern recognition and natural language processing. With Transkribus it is possible to recognize and search handwritten documents independently from their age or script. The platform is open and currently used by more than 18.000 users worldwide. The talk will provide some insight into the daily business of the platform as well as further plans how to connect it with the EOSC infrastructure.
