- Started playing around today with LERA, a collation tool developed at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. It's very promising! Thanks to @poeckelmann.bsky.social for setting up the instance so quickly! lera.uzi.uni-halle.de #DH #TextualScholarship #BookHistory #ScholarlyEditing
- It's the only tool still standing out of 3 reviewed in 2020 by Torsten Roeder for RIDE: A Review Journal for Scholarly Digital Editions and Resources... Does anyone know what happened to the venerable Juxta or to Variance Viewer developed by Nico Balbach at @uni-wuerzburg.de? #DH project graveyard
- I compared the OCRed full text of: - 2 copies of the same edition, both from the Münchener Digitalisierungszentrum (MDZ) - a second edition, 🇩🇪"neu bearbeitete Ausgabe", digitized by Google Books, available on @hathitrust.bsky.social I'm the #DH person; someone else will do the #TextualScholarshipNov 4, 2025 17:59
- My take-away is that it would save cleaning time if digitization services either: - provided XML files; or at least - standardized the way of presenting page breaks in .txt files MDZ: ----- 9 / 258 ----- Google Books: ## p. 5 (#9) ################################################ #ScholarlyEditing
