Guide to searching and annotating text on maps

Because it wasn't wholly obvious to me, this documentation is for the work available on https://www.davidrumsey.com/

This is great. I often search old maps because I do some metal detecting and I've been thinking about building a system to find similar maps based on the entities (places) in them.

Here's the system doing the "magic": https://knowledge-computing.github.io/mapkurator-doc/#/docs/...

It would be neat to be able to filter between cities/places and streets.

I don't understand how to contribute to fix OCR errors. Even after registering and logging in, after searching a word and clicking on the image, then getting the annotation in the viewer, it does not show the "Edit | Confirm" buttons as they appear in the screenshot from the documentation. So I can see the annotation and its automatic transcriptions, but I can neither edit nor confirm it.

If you need to detect text on a map for adding annotations and exporting to GeoJSON, you can get started using this tool: https://github.com/machines-reading-maps/Tutorials-Newslette...

I have a similar problem: reading engineering drawings.
