Special story

Commons transcription tool

By Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing)

Commons transcription tool

A new Wikimedia Commons OCR script makes it easier to transcribe text in images. It is available as toolbar button on Commons and creates a OCR text. It pops up a little dialog box with the image and its text, permitted correction and then insertion into the page. You can easily use it by adding the code in grey from this page to your your common.js on Wikimedia Commons.
