Full text transcription into Cyrillic alphabet

Wendy Allison Rupper

While exploring the record holding in Lithuania, I see that there is a large collection of military conscriptions. It seems that the AI is attempting to transcribe these records using the Latin alphabet, possibly into English. This record in written in Russian. Some of the forms are type written Russian, while a lot of the vital data (names and such) are handwritten Russian. For a large majority of Lithuania, records were written in Polish up until 1868, however I tested some of this collection and it is Russian also in 1803, so that leads me to believe it is in Russian for all available years.

@Wendy Allison Rupper Although Full Text Search processing can deal with ligatures and diacritic letters the foundation for it all is still the basic Latin alphabet. Both in the form of entered Keywords and also the generated transcriptions

From what I can tell Transkribus might be able to handle non-latin alphabets. Using a copy of a saved image found using FTS you can give that a try
