The reveal is so satisfying 😊 We are putting a lot of work into improving the app. If you have any difficult to read/see material, we'd love to hear from you.

@vanlinduist.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 9:30 AM

Looks like you summon your code with your grimoire 🤭

@vanlinduist.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 3:08 PM

I'm giving @martin.rocek.dev a headache with lots of requests for Translucens, but soon we'll have a bunch of QoL improvements for you.

Personally love the binarizarion preview. Super useful for preparing our ground truth for the HTR Winter School!

If you are in Graz, don't miss this talk! And if you're not, take a look at manu.is and vocabula.lat anyway 🤩

We've been busy developing Translucens with @vanlinduist.bsky.social! Soon you'll be able to try the updated interface with tool categories, and a new tool that brings faint, erased text back into view. It's also much faster now.

Screenshot of the Translucens interface, with Folio 2 (recto) of manuscript AM 194 8vo open in a before-and-after slider. The left half of the page shows the original colour photograph: dark, uneven parchment with a crease and a small tear, and hard-to-read gothic script. The right half shows the grayscale version, where the lighting is evened out and the lines of handwritten text stand out sharply against a white background. On the left, a sidebar lists Folio 1 (one recto image, no verso) and Folio 2 (recto and verso images). On the right, the Capture correction panel has "Even out lighting" switched on. "Denoise capture" and "Widen colour range" are off, and their sliders for denoise strength, denoise mix, colour stretch and tonal stretch are dimmed. View tabs at the bottom read Colour, Grayscale, Alignment, Mask: Ink and Mask: Ghost.

I’m spending an unhealthy amount of time on this, but it’s so fun! 😅 I’ve added circles showing how the shock traveled across land and sea.

A plea for more dialogue between traditional philology and DH. Yes, DH researchers need to do a better job of explaining our methods, tools and their uses outside our bubble. But openness has to go both ways. We also need a willingness to talk to us before judging what technology can and cannot do.

There is still time to apply to our Winter School on digital arts, time-based media, intelligent instruments and creative uses of AI!

@vanlinduist.bsky.socialSep 17, 2026, 9:49 AM

Amazing opportunity to spend 2 weeks learning semantic web technologies and the creation of LOD, named entities (NLP, NER) via authority files and the use of GIS and IIIF. It's great fun! If you have students at one of the partner institutions, pass this on to them 😊
