# About

This is a TROcr model for medieval Latin, specifically the Caroline script. The base model was [microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/trocr-base-handwritten) It was finetuned from the examples in the [CATMuS](https://huggingface.co/datasets/CATMuS/medieval) dataset.

The model has not been formally tested. Preliminary examination indicates that further finetuning is needed.

Finetuning was done with finetune.py found in this repository.
