This is a fantastic innovation for all historians, I truly thank you for this. I have been testing out Transcription Pearl with Polish archives and so far the initial transcription seems quite accurate (more so for archives produced by a typewriter than for quickly handwritten texts). However, when I try to correct the initial transcription (pdf format) with Claude Sonnet 3.5, I keep getting an error. As I'm not a technical expert, I'm not sure what could be causing this...
It only says that 'an error occurred while processing the current page' when I want to correct the transcription with GenAI. I have filled in the API Keys and not modified the prompt (except changing 19th century to 20th century) so I'm not sure what is going wrong. The initial transcription is already very accurate but it would be even more so if I could correct it through an additional AI-analysis of course.

Thanks for the comments. What does the error say?

I will test it and compare it with Transkribus. I look forward to your next steps! I’d love to bring you here to Wayne State in 25-26 for a talk…
Sounds good, and I’d be happy to do that! Let me know how the tests go.
