'''Transkribus''' is a platform for the text recognition, image analysis and structure recognition of historical documents.

The platform was created in the context of the two EU projects "tranScriptorium" (2013–2015)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://transkriptorium.com/ |title= TranSkriptorium |website=transkriptorium.com |access-date=24 February 2022}}{{title missing|date=May 2022}}</ref> and "READ" (Recognition and Enrichment of Archival Documents – 2016–2019).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/674943 |title=tranScriptorium Project Page |website=cordis.europa.eu |access-date=1 February 2020}}{{title missing|date=May 2022}}</ref> It was developed by the University of Innsbruck. Since July 1, 2019 the platform has been directed and further developed by the READ-COOP, a non-profit cooperative.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://readcoop.eu/ |title= Read-Coop |website=readcoop.eu |access-date=1 February 2020}}{{title missing|date=May 2022}}</ref>

The platform integrates tools developed by research groups throughout Europe, including the ''Pattern Recognition and Human Language Technology'' (PRHLT) group of the Technical University of Valencia and the Computational Intelligence Technology Lab (CITlab) group of University of Rostock.

Comparable programs that offer similar functions are eScriptorium and OCR4All.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://fortext.net/tools/tools/ocr4all |title=OCR4all {{!}} forTEXT |access-date=2023-06-20}}</ref>
