A search and browsing interface for OCR-transcribed Ottoman Turkish printed works. Page images are
shown with their detected regions and lines; the transcriptions are searchable across one or all works.
How to use
Choose a work from the Works list in ⛃ Filters, or from the list on the left. Scroll the pages, or click a thumbnail.
Search any character, word or phrase in the search box. Options are under ⌕ Search ▾: regex for patterns (e.g. قر.ن), normalize to ignore ye/kef variants and ZWNJ, and the ⌨ keyboard.
Filters narrow the works in scope: works, regions, and metadata such as genre, author, publisher and year.
❒ Browse regions (Filters, under Regions) lists every instance of the chosen region type, e.g. all footnotes or all images, across the works in scope. Step through them with ↑ / ↓.
▦ Stats shows totals for the works in scope, and for a search: frequency over time and per work.
⚙ Settings shows or hides regions and lines, and hides calibration charts (their page numbers stay as in the PDF).
Matched lines are highlighted on the page. Click a line to read its transcription. Drag the right edge of the left panel to resize it.
