Hello, I have some letters handwritten by my great-grandfather from the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1943/1944. Few of them have been transcribed by hand. They are quite a lot and really not easy to read (you can understand the situation) also if the pen trace is good and well preserved.

I am wondering if some of these new AI tools can help me transcribe them. I don’t expect an automatic transcription, but any help would be welcome 😊

    Hello, thanks for your suggestion. The letters are good quality and well preserved, except for some of them. It’s not difficult to read them, but they are hand written in italic and I have some problems understanding the calligraphy in some points. I’ll try some open source library for sure, it worth a try. Thanks! :-)
