Digital Dickens Working Notes Project

Posted by Anna Gibson on January 9, 2015

The Dickens Notes Project will digitize Charles Dickens's working notes for his novels alongside their serial parts. The project will provide scholars and students with a comprehensive and interactive fluid edition of Dickens's working notes that highlights the connections between notes and novel, annotates the notes, and demonstrates the process of Dickens's serial form.

T-PEN (Transcription for Paleographical and Editorial Notation)

Posted by Center For Digi... on January 5, 2012

T-PEN is a web-based application that permits users to transcribe unpublished documents that are available from a digital repository. T-PEN autormatically identifies the location of each line in the page image, and this allows the user to transcribe line by line (this line parsing can also be manually adjusted). T-PEN also supports XML encoding as you transcribe and any XML schema (RNG format) can be linked to a project. Transcription projects can be shared with 1 or more other T-PEN users.
