Creation

Transformer: a Unicode Transform/Replace Tool

Transformer loads Unicode text files and performs sequences of transformation operations on them — search-and-replace, or JavaScript operations. It provides you with an interface to create and test these sequences of transformations before running them in batch mode on a set of files. Transformer was created to assist in the rescue of textual data from obsolete file formats such as DOS word-processor files. Sometimes, it proves impossible to rescue old data through normal means such as running the original application and exporting to a format which can be imported by a more modern program. Perhaps the program which created the data no longer exists or cannot be run on available hardware, or perhaps it cannot save to any format but its own. In these circumstances, it is often necessary to rescue the data by a process of manual conversion, identifying blocks of text or other data in the original file which can be replaced with Unicode characters, and building sequences of replacement operations which gradually convert the data. This often requires an exhaustive trial-and-error approach in which transformation operations are added incrementally and tested in various sequences before a reliable sequence is developed; then the sequence can be run on a group of files. Transformer should provide as efficient a working environment as possible, so that the user can focus on the task itself rather than the machinery.

Natural Language Processing

Transkribus

Transkribus is an OCR platform for transcribing hand-written text. After manually transcribing 100 images, scholars can use a trained Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) engine at the Technical University of Valencia to automate the transcription of the remaining pages of their documents. The platform has a number of tools and features for users in different disciplines.

Trapit

Gathers smart search results based on user feedback. Similar to Google Alerts but you can give a thumbs up/down to improve the search results.

Visualization

TravelTime Maps

TravelTime Maps make it possible to create isochrones (travel time areas) on a map by selecting a start point, the maximum travel time and preferred transport mode. For example users can visualise all locations within 15 minutes drive time from their current location. It also uses walking, cycling and public transport times. It' also possible to download a CSV of all postcodes that fall within this area on request or export to a KML.

Visualization

TRAViz

One of the substantial tasks in the field of textual criticism is called collation, which is the cautious comparison of various editions of one and the same text. The traditional approach of a humanities scholar is to put the texts of several editions next to each other and mark the differences among the textual entities (e.g., sentences, sections, chapters). Since this is an extremely laborious approach many Digital Humanities projects investigate tools that support the humanities scholars with computational methods. TRAViz is a JavaScript library that was developed within the Digital Humanities project eTRACES. It generates visualizations for Text Variant Graphs that show the variations between different editions of texts. TRAViz supports the collation task by providing methods to: - align various editions of a text - visualize the alignment - improve the readability for Text Variant Graphs compared to other approaches - interact with the graph to discover how individual editions disseminate
