We don't know if #AI will take our jobs, but for now, we use it to do them better. At #Qalamos, we blend our code with AI-generated code to build workflow-boosting tools—like our transcription tool for #DIN_31635, #LoC, and original #Arabic. The future is uncertain, but the collaboration is real.💪🦾

It seems that #AI can effortlessly generate quite accurate #transcriptions! 🦾 Here Gemini 2.5 Flash converts tricky #romanization standards (like #DIN_31635) back into the original #Arabic_script and other scholarly formats like #LoC. Could save hours of painstaking work!😇

The various transcription systems currently in use present a challenge for librarians and academics, alike. As a library project, we currently use the #DIN_31635 and #LoC (Library of Congress) systems, but also hope to be able to offer the #DMG system later, given its widespread use in academia.
