Automatic Transcription Output with Ocular Three versions of the same fragment from the Advertencias: one is a facsimile image of the original page; one is a facsimile image in black in white with language changes marked in red; the final is an automatic transcription of the original page, with language shifts automatically generated. Transcription labels languages correctly on all but one word, and shows few character errors, though it does insert extra spaces in the Nahuatl text. Text reads: “Ay proprio vocablo de logro, que es, tetech-tlaixtlapanaliztli, tetechtlamieccaquixtiliztli, ypara dezir diste alogro? Cuix tetech otitlaix”.
