Survey on Crowdsourced Transcription Tools

May 31, 2012 by Ben Brumfield

Via Twitter and the TEI-L mailing list, I see that Jens Brokfeld, a graduate student in Potsdam, is conducting a survey of projects using transcription tools for his thesis, “Creating Digital Editions with Crowdsourced Manuscript Transcription: A Tool Evaluation”.  I encourage readers of this blog to take the survey and help advance the field.

In case that your organisation (archives, libraries, scientific institutions) works on projects for digital editions or may do so in the future, I would be very grateful for your answers to my survey questions. Please forward this e-mail to anyone working with digital editions and transcription tools. The survey will take 15-20 minutes.

Please click on the following link to complete the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/survey_transcription_tools
