  The zip file contains textlines and their annotations from AIDA-project. There are ~ 166k textlines that are mainly in Finnish language, but contain a little Swedish and
13
- English and little French and German textlines. The textlines contains typewritten and also handwritten lines. Roughly 24 % of the lines are handwritten and the rest are
14
  typewritten. The dataset also contains 120 000 synthetic images.

  ### Source Data
55
 
56
+ The data is collected from Central Archives for Finnish Business (ELKA). It consists of various document types including letters, ship records, business publications etc. It
57
+ includes correspondence between companies, organizations and the public.
58
 
59
  ### Who are the source language producers?
60
 
61
+ Given the various types of archival material used in annotation, the scope of producers of the original texts is broad. It includes private individuals and employees of
62
+ different companies.
63
+
64
  ### Annotations
65
 
66
+ The textlines were first cropped out of the original image and then transcribed. If the transcription was unclear, the annotator marked it as either "somewhat unclear" or
67
+ "unclear". Unclear images were discarded, but the "somewhat discarded" images are presented here as in the "semi" annotation files. The rough estimate for "somewhat
68
+ unclear" class is that less than 100% and more than 50% of the characters are unclear.
69
+
70
  ### Who are the annotators?
71
 
72
+ Annotators were employees of National Archives of Finland and ELKA.
73
+
74
  ### Personal and Sensitive Information
75
 
76
+ The dataset is not anonymized, so individuals' names can be found in the dataset.
