You can edit and enhance your transcription by typing into the transcription textbox.
EDITING TRANSCRIPTION TEXT
The manuscript page is shown on the right-hand side and the transcription text box on the left (seen here). The transcription box has two tabs: WRITE and PREVIEW. In the WRITE tab, the user can edit and enhance the text. The text has the TEI.XML markup colour coded around the text. In the PREVIEW tab, the user sees only the transcription text.
To edit the text, click in the text box and add or remove content.
To add markup options, highlight the text and click the relevant markup blue button.
This website provides many useful characters and symbols https://schwa.dk/filer/ipacharpick/. The symbols must be Unicode.
To remove markup, change the -/+ slide button to – (buttons will turn red), highlight the text and click the relevant markup red button.
