Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the research to be conducted for a MSc. The study is concerned with the automatic transcription of part of a handwritten |xam story, which contains a limited set of characters from the |xam Bushman language. The transcription is performed using a trained SVM model to classify the characters. The text to be transcribed is a neatly rewritten version of the first page of A Story of the Girl who made the Milky Way, which appears in one of Lucy Lloyd’s |xam notebooks. Two authors participated in this study with the purpose of evaluating the ability to transcribe the handwriting of multiple authors.
