Mostly we sponsor archives and digital library conferences, but we’re also proud to sponsor Ann Richards Marching Stars Band and Color Guard.🎶✨
(We’re guessing your conference doesn’t have a trailer with our logo on it!😉)

That reliability is why we believe this approach works for archives.

Character error rate helps translate AI quality into real-world effort.
Even at high quality levels, human review is still essential. At low error rates, it turns from reinterpretation to copy-editing.
Different thresholds require very different levels of human intervention.

According to Mark Humphries’ analysis:
🔴 3% error rate
3–4 errors/sentence. First draft at best, not trustworthy
🟡 1% error rate
About 1 error/sentence. Readable, but needs proofreading
🟢 0.5% error rate
1–2 characters wrong/page. Usable and trustworthy with copy-editing

Our new comparison screen highlights the differences between AI transcriptions and human ground truth. Some differences are true errors. Others are simply transcription choices. Seeing this visually helps archivists understand what kind of differences they’re dealing with.
