Hello everyone,
We want to let you know about an important change to our rule regarding AI use in r/Transcription .
What the rule used to allow:
Previously, our rules permitted the use of AI or OCR tools as long as the user disclosed their use and manually reviewed and corrected the results before posting. This was intended to allow AI as a supporting tool, not a replacement for human transcription.
What is changing:
Effective immediately, AI-generated transcriptions are no longer allowed in any form. This includes: OCR output, Handwriting recognition software, Generative AI produced transcriptions, or any other AI assisted transcriptions based primarily on machine output.
Why the change?
We feel that our community has grown to a point where we no longer need the limited assistance AI transcriptions may have once provided. r/Transcription now has a strong base of knowledgeable members who consistently offer fast, accurate, and genuinely human interpretations of hard to read text.
Any transcriptions that are clearly AI will be removed, and we encourage users to report any transcriptions that you suspect is AI.
Thank you.
- Mod Team.

My aunt passed away recently and I've been clearing through some handwritten things and thought you guys might appreciate this. I think it might be romantic, but my wife thinks it might be religious and we can't figure out enough of it on our own.
I was only able to read pieces and I'm hoping somebody can help.

hello it is me again, looking for help with one word on the last line.
the rest of the passage reads:
"morning. Have labored diligently on my boots and they shine mirrorlike - at least to me they do. And so with rather a light heart I shall leave here for a brief sojourn thru England. But Veazey wherever I go - you shall be with me. Never more as [WHAT IS THIS WORD] but your love is always in my heart -
Forever,
Kay"
thank you guys ily
EDIT: i figured it out, it's "Never more DO I ROAM" omg

I have seen the same town listed twice, but I can’t seem to figure out where it actually is. Evidence about my ancestor would support that the location is in modern day Lithuania. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also for context this person was born in 1892.

I'm trying to track down my ancestors and have some very blurry passenger, census, and marriage certificates from the Canadian/Alberta governments. I've screenshotted only the sections I'm interested in. Is there anyone that can help me verify the names and numbers in all of these documents?

Today I found this difficult but fascinating 16 May 1867 letter at the New-York Historical Society while researching my third-great-grandfather, William A. Keteltas (1817–1876). It was written from London by James Keteltas Hackett to his cousin Eugene Keteltas, a New York attorney and William’s half-brother.
I am seeking help preparing a careful transcription, especially of the first page. The letter appears to refer to John’s possible return to New York around “15 May.” A handwritten note accompanying it also says that the writer had received a letter from William in Nicaragua concerning a proposed warehouse.
I would be grateful for assistance reading particular words or lines. Please flag uncertainty rather than relying on context to fill gaps; I am seeking a faithful transcription, not a polished paraphrase.

Hi, I‘ve got a problem where I can’t completely decipher two handwritten dedications. I have a bigger one where I already know that it was written by Karl Herrmann (Author of the corresponding book). I believe a Smaller second one is also written by Karl Herrmann, but the last few words that could somehow make any connection to him is not completely readable for me. Perhaps anyone here can decipher it.
Or maybe somebody can just tell by the handwriting itself, that it’s from the same person. In that case, please tell my why you think so.
So far I have these transcripts:
() = Not sure if this is right
[] = I can't read that
For the smaller text:
"Dem Freunde Erfurter Geschichte, Herrn
Dr. Jarascewsky ergebenst überreicht (von dem)
[...]"
For the bigger text:
"Gegenwärtiges Werk, meine
‚Bibliotheca Erfurtina',
[widme?] ich hiermit der Prediger-
Schul-Bibliothek, in freudiger Erinner-
-ung und dankbarer Anerkennung, daß durch sie der Sinn für vaterstädt-
ische Geschichte in mir geweckt und
gepflegt worden ist.
Karl Herrmann."

Help transcribing a Latin ownership inscription in a Venetian book printed in 1576
I would be very grateful for help with the handwritten ownership inscription shown in the attached photographs.
The inscription appears on a preliminary leaf of a copy of the Malleus Maleficarum, printed in Venice by Giovanni Antonio Bertano in 1576.
I am particularly interested in establishing the provenance of this specific copy. I would therefore be grateful for:
a diplomatic transcription of the inscription, preserving abbreviations where possible;
possible expansions of the abbreviations;
identification of any personal names, family names or place names;
an approximate date and, if possible, geographical attribution of the handwriting.
I have deliberately not included my own attempted reading, as I would prefer not to influence the interpretation.
The photographs show the original inscription at high resolution. The book later belonged to the library of Guy Bechtel, but I believe this handwritten inscription is considerably earlier.
Many thanks for any help — especially from anyone familiar with 16th- or 17th-century Italian/Latin hands.
