Scripto is an extension for Omeka Classic and Omeka S, that opens up the possibilities of community-sourced transcription, translation, or description for digital humanities projects.
Scripto is an open-source tool that permits registered users to view digital files and transcribe them with an easy-to-use toolbar, rendering that text searchable. The tool includes a versioning history and editorial controls to make public contributions more manageable, and supports the transcription of a wide range of file types (both images and documents).
There are two versions of Scripto, each of which works with a different version of Omeka. Scripto for Omeka Classic creates a single transcription project for the content of your Omeka Classic site. Scripto for Omeka S enables the creation of multiple projects built from shared items in your Omeka S installation.
Omeka Classic is a web publishing platform for sharing digital collections. While it was not developed with scholarly digital editions in mind, a community of users has developed plugins that can manage and display digital scholarly editions following the XML-TEI standard.
