The Transcription Viewer allows the upload of manuscript transcriptions created with external tools in XML format. Once loaded, the transcription is displayed in three synchronized views: the raw XML code, a rendered text version with basic styling, and - when available - digitized manuscript images aligned with the transcription. This setup enables a combined view of structure, content, and original manuscript facsimiles.
The XML can be modified directly within the editor panel. By clicking Update Preview, the visual rendering and image alignment are refreshed to reflect the changes. The updated transcription may then be downloaded as a new XML file for further use.
When a single transcription file in TEI-XML is not available but multiple PAGE-XML files are provided, the Convert PAGE-XML into TEI-XML button can be used. A dedicated page is opened where the PAGE-XML files may be uploaded and merged into one combined TEI-XML file. Once generated and downloaded, the unified file can then be uploaded into the Transcription Viewer for visualization and further editing.
