I have been invited to give a keynote (my first one!) at the Transkribus User Conference this September. I wanted to attend this conference for a long time, so being able to join in this role is a special honor to me. Hope to see many of you in Passau at the TUC! #digitalhumanities #dh #multilingualism #multilingualdh #textrecognition #transkribus

Fantastic Friday news from rainy Vienna! Our co-authored article "Who are the users in multilingual digital humanities?" is now available in Digital Scholarship in the Humanities! Beside conceptual considerations about the multilingual DH user community, the article also offers actionable steps towards stronger language inclusivity. https://academic.oup.com/dsh/advance-article/doi/10.1093/llc/fqaf091/8263225?utm_source=advanceaccess&utm_campaign=dsh&utm_medium=email

I'm happy to share a creative zine, "Ten annoying things about digitizing under-resourced and under-represented languages - And what might help fixing them": https://zenodo.org/records/18232604
This was conceived at our "OCR/HTR Workshop for Under-resourced and Under-represented Languages in Digital Humanities" held at CEU. This is a rare, concise, but much-needed synthesis of our challenges to help support a linguistically more inclusive DH environment thru text recognition dev. Feel free to share it!
