Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

But I send it out often enough, that I decided to post it here, rather than continually retyping it. Missing info will be filled in... eventually.

For transcription, textual mining, etexts, and more. Programs such as Oxygen are useful for this, but you can also just use your regular code editor-- even if that is just a plain text editor

Teaching machines to read early modern typography in digitized texts. I think this might create Skynet, but I don't care as long as it fixes my OCR problems
TypeWright is a tool for correcting the text-version of a document made up of page images. These text-versions are crucially necessary: they are what enables full-text searching, datamining, preserving, and curating texts of historical importance. Right now, the text running behind the page images of these texts has been mechanically typed, leaving behind errors that need to be corrected by human eyes and hands.
