HANOI Corpus: HANOI Corpus of Handwritten Notes of Interpreters

HANOI Corpus - resources for studying note-taking in interpreting
The HANOI Corpus is a collection of scanned notes used for consecutive interpretation. Notation in consecutive interpreting is a unique type of text that operates at the interface between two languages. The interpreter listens to the source language, taking notes in order to translate it into the target language. For an interpreter, handwritten notes are versatile tools. Users can browse the scanned notes collected from professional interpreters, or download the entire corpus. The HANOI Corpus is the first collection of this kind and an invaluable resource for advanced machine learning algorithms. These handwritten notes can be used, for example, to improve AI tools for intelligent handwriting recognition. This is because the corpus contains examples of many handwriting styles, symbols, figures, abbreviations and other notation conventions.
