Transcription of image content

This step plugin allows you to create transcriptions of works. The transcriptions are recorded without word or line coordinates.

Overview

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.jar

The 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.xml

Overview 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.
