Translating and Transcribing Documents

for Genealogical Research Using AI

WORKSHOP

Presenter: Thomas MacEntee

Learn how to harness the power of artificial intelligence to assist in translating and transcribing a variety of records used for Jewish genealogical research. We’ll cover a variety of different languages including Hebrew, Russian, French, Ukrainian as well as different alphabets. In addition print and handwritten documents will be used in the translation and transcription process. All translation and transcription actions will be performed in REAL TIME during the presentation and attendees will gain the skills to replicate these actions on their own.

Thomas MacEntee is a Baby Boomer guy with a love of punk rock music but also art history who somehow “fell” into the technology industry almost 40 years ago, and then left a lucrative IT career to pursue his love of family history and genealogy. Technology and historical research are opposites, but “tech people” like Thomas are needed to guide today’s genealogists through the maze of options so they can deploy the best apps and devices to break down research brick walls. Thomas MacEntee: author, educator, advocate, entrepreneur, and that “genealogy guy” who helps you accomplish your family history goals.
