Editor Reviews

Section 1:

The team at the ROIS-DS Center for Open Data in the Humanities (CODH) has developed a clever AI technology named 'miwo' that can seamlessly convert ancient Japanese characters into their modern equivalents. Using this innovative application, users can easily take a photo of an old document and witness it being translated into readable text. This tool is ideal for history enthusiasts who wish to explore old Japanese texts, swiftly review their contents, study ancient Japanese characters, or obtain transcriptions of historical documents.

Section 2:

This amazing app has the ability to identify characters in photos taken or saved from the internet. It can display the recognized characters directly on the image. Additionally, users have the option to correct any errors, convert them into text, save them, and search for ancient Japanese characters in CODH's database. However, it's important to note that this AI is not capable of deciphering characters found on stone monuments or signs like Sherlock Holmes would.

Section 3:

The application does not collect personal information or upload images to a server. For further information about the app, feel free to contact the developers at miwo(at)nii.ac.jp for any questions, feedback, or reports of bugs.
