Mostly we sponsor archives and digital library conferences, but we’re also proud to sponsor Ann Richards Marching Stars Band and Color Guard.🎶✨ (We’re guessing your conference doesn’t have a trailer with our logo on it!😉)

Character error rate helps translate AI quality into real-world effort. Even at high quality levels, human review is still essential. At low error rates, it turns from reinterpretation to copy-editing. Different thresholds require very different levels of human intervention.

We’re excited to be on the news! 📰✨ “FromThePage is helping libraries and archivists transcribe historical documents, word for word.” Community volunteers at SD are using FromThePage to make local history accessible to everyone—anytime, anywhere. buff.ly/jYRw9x4

According to Mark Humphries’ analysis: 🔴 3% error rate 3–4 errors/sentence. First draft at best, not trustworthy 🟡 1% error rate About 1 error/sentence. Readable, but needs proofreading 🟢 0.5% error rate 1–2 characters wrong/page. Usable and trustworthy with copy-editing

Our new comparison screen highlights the differences between AI transcriptions and human ground truth. Some differences are true errors. Others are simply transcription choices. Seeing this visually helps archivists understand what kind of differences they’re dealing with.

We launched two features designed to answer a critical question: How good are AI transcriptions? You can now directly compare an AI-generated transcription against human-created text. Instead of guessing, you can see exactly where they differ. Try here: fromthepage.com/users/new_trial
