Fraktur, Gothic letters, handwritten documents, ancient scripts…
Editing ancient letters like Old English, Gothic script or Fraktur is a labour-intensive process. We’ll take that out of your hands. We ensure optimal searchability of your Gothic books and documents, through self-learning language models. As lovers of ancient work and as scientists who have been working on ancient books for more than 25 years, we say: ‘This is a huge breakthrough in the field of ancient Gothic script (Fraktur).’
We offer a service that turns scientific research upside down. Gothic script that is searchable in a personal digital library (viewer). You no longer have to read these works several times from start to finish, shading (a thorn in the side of book lovers), make excerpts, or keep a (digital) card box. Thanks to our special viewer, as a scientist, archivist, interested person, or as a hobbyist you are able to carry out thorough research efficiently.
The possibilities of a searchable work are infinite and unparalleled. In the work of an author from 1500 onwards, you can now look for the use of words, the frequency of words, different spellings, but also search for specific concepts and expressions of that particular century or of that Gothic work. Also, detecting changes and developments, thought patterns of an author or century is within your grasp. All this with a single mouse click in our viewer. For a historian, researcher, archivist, librarian, or student, this is invaluable.
Besides recognising old letters from 1600 onwards, we can now OCR handwritten documents and search them in our viewer. Our BIQE Handwritten Text Recognition Software (HTR) is language-independent. The video shows a demo of our BIQE HTR Software:
