From Mark's slides, on the difference between HTR and OCR:
"With real handwriting the challenge is identifying the boundaries of each letter. HTR takes a sequence of overlapping shapes in an image, and maps them to a sequence of characters."

Not everyone’s cuppa but I love transcribing old wills. Which is why I registered for the #LeverhulmeTrust #Transcribathon on 24 July. It’s free and I can spend three hours transcribing wills. And tell everyone that I am Not To Be Disturbed. Bliss!
