Transcribathon.eu, the crowdsourcing platform for transcription of documents on Europeana.eu
The online portal Transcribathon.eu is a crowdsourcing and citizen sciene project to transcribe, enrich, annotate historical documents from the Europeana-Portal.
The idea behind Transcribathon.eu is to enrich digitised historical material, allowing the contents to be read, searched and used. By enriching and improving the transcribers are competing with each other.
Transcribathon.eu was developed from 2018 to 2020 in the EnrichEuropeana project. Further improvement is in the making in the EnrichEuropeana+ project which started in 2021, and combines human expertise with artificial intelligence to make historical documents from the 19th century accessible.
The project is an Europeana Generic Services project and is financed by the Connecting Europe Facility of the European Union.

- Austrian Institute of Technology – Austria
- Stichting Europeana – Netherland
- Facts & Files
