Ancestry now has an AI Image Transcription tool in beta. Here is how to use it:
1. Upload an image of a letter, newspaper article, etc., into your gallery.
2. Open the image, in the upper left is a Transcribe button. Click It.
3. The transcription appears in a window on the right side of the screen.
Here is the image I used and the transcription generated
In this case, it was 100% accurate. I also tried a handwritten record from a Deed Book from 1886. It took longer and was not as accurate. A couple of the people's names were incorrect, but the rest of the text was pretty accurate. This will definitely be a time saver.
