Introduction
The transcription plugin allows the user to edit the txt OCR results of a Goobi process. An image and a rich text editor are displayed side by side where the text can be captured.
Installation
To use the plugin, these two files must be copied to the following locations:
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/step/plugin-intranda-step-transcription-base.jar
/opt/digiverso/goobi/plugins/GUI/plugin-intranda-step-transcription-gui.jarThe configuration of the plugin takes place within its configuration file plugin_intranda_step_transcription.xml. This is expected under the following path:
/opt/digiverso/goobi/config/plugin_intranda_step_transcription.xmlOverview and functionality
To put the plugin into operation, it must be activated for one or more desired tasks in the workflow. This is done as shown in the following screenshot by selecting the plugin intranda_step_transcription from the list of installed plugins.
As soon as a user subsequently accepts a task that contains this plugin, he can enter it from within the task.
After entering the plugin, the user can browse through the image files. A rich text editor is displayed on the right-hand side of each page, showing any existing transcription or OCR results. In this editor, the previous result can now be corrected or a completely new text can be transcribed.
ATTENTION: Please note that this plugin only allows a simple transcription of page content. It is not possible to enter coordinates for paragraphs, lines or words.

The plugin is configured in the file plugin_intranda_step_transcription.xml as shown here:

General parameters
The <config> block can occur repeatedly for different projects or work steps in order to be able to perform different actions within different workflows. The other parameters within this configuration file have the following meanings:
project
This parameter defines which project the current block <config> should apply to. The name of the project is used here. This parameter can occur several times per <config> block.
step
This parameter controls which work steps the <config> block should apply to. The name of the work step is used here. This parameter can occur several times per <config> block.
Further parameters
In addition to these general parameters, the following parameters are available for further configuration:
imageFolder
Specify here from which directory the images are to be displayed. Possible values are e.g. master, media or individual folders like photos and scans.
allowTaskFinishButtons
This parameter can be used to enable buttons for completing the task to be displayed in the regular plugin interface so that the plugin does not have to be exited first.
