The AnnotationTool is a tool facilitating the work at the Nichtstaatliches Recht der Metallindustrie project at the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory (https://www.lhlt.mpg.de/forschungsprojekt/nichtstaatliches-recht-der-wirtschaft). It's current functions are:
- Splitting a pdf into single image files, which can be worked on further with other tools such as ScanTailor Advanced (https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced).
- Uploading the images to a server via ssh. In our project, we use ocr4all (https://www.ocr4all.org/) to do the OCR work.
- Download the OCR data from a server via ssh. Attention: The program will try to execute a shell script located on said server, which is not provided here. You should disable that part of the code if you want to use the application yourself.
- Automatically annotate TEI XML files according to a list of signal words for respective tags.
- Provide a manual transcription interface to work on sources which cannot be processed with ocr4all (e.g. handwritten sources). Attention: The script uses a template for the TEI XML file which contains the header of the project. You need to change the template file /source/teivorlage.py according to your own needs.
Windows: https://github.com/bspendrin/AnnotationTool/tree/main/build/windows Linux: Not available yet. MacOS: Not available yet.
