DESCRIPTION:Automated or Handwritten Text Recognition has been making cont
 inuous progress\, with new tools\, models\, and technologies emerging ever
 y year. This rapidly evolving field is becoming a "must-have" for many dig
 ital endeavors\, particularly in the study of historical sources. There ar
 e\, however\, still multiple challenges\, e.g.\, complicated page layouts\
 , lack of models for some languages and scripts\, Latin abbreviations\, an
 d inconsistencies in the training data. \n\nUsed images. Top: ÖNB\, Cod.
