Do you have an existing transcription?
Nyingarn is able to ingest transcription work done as text files, through crowdsourcing platforms like Digivol and FromthePage, and through other transcription platforms like Transkribus.
Existing transcriptions done in Microsoft Word can be adapted and added to Nyingarn as TEI files: Add word transcriptions. Transkribus files also need to be converted to TEI for export into Nyingarn.
The Nyingarn Project used DigiVol and FromthePage to transcribe manuscripts. Manuscripts were made available with permission from the relevant language group so that the text can be used by them and by others for appropriate purposes. The work will be distributed using a Creative Commons non-commercial, attribution licence.
DigiVol is a crowdsourcing platform that was developed by the Australian Museum in collaboration with the Atlas of Living Australia.
FromthePage is software for transcribing documents and collaborating on transcriptions with others.
