Jump to: navigation, search

As a user of Transcribe Bentham, you will generally be transcribing manuscripts by editing pages that contain those manuscripts.

The process you will follow to do this includes:

  • Clicking 'Edit' in the toolbar of the chosen manuscript to begin transcribing.
  • Typing your transcription in the transcription box opposite.
  • Using the toolbar above the transcription box to add markup to your transcription: there are tips on using this toolbar in the video on this page.
  • Previewing your transcription by clicking 'Show Preview' below the transcription box. Saving your transcription, even if it is incomplete, by clicking 'Save Page' below the transcription box.

For more detailed instructions, including video tutorials, you should refer to Getting Started and Transcription Guidelines.
