Researchers associated with the University of Galway applied eScriptorium and its Kraken engine to the automatic transcription of Old Georgian manuscripts — a notably difficult, non-Latin script — as part of wider work using open-source HTR to turn scanned archival material into machine-readable text. The project demonstrates eScriptorium's versatility across divergent linguistic and typographic domains, and its value for improving discovery of heritage collections. An Irish example of open-source handwritten-text recognition applied to a challenging historical script.
