Abstract

This paper briefly describes aspects of the Tikkoun Sofrim crowdsourcing webApp. Tikkoun Sofrim is a webApp which allows users to correct automatic transcriptions (AT) done by an AI Neural network engine. We look at the background of the crowdsourcing phenomenon in the use of automatic transcription of digital humanities documents. System structure is briefly described. We then examine personalization and adaption aspects at different stages of the user/application lifecycle Finally, we briefly list future challenges.
