"The objective of the present paper is to introduce a wider audience, at very early stage development, initial results Romanian joint initiative AI software engineers and palaeographers in an experimental project aiming assist improve transcription effort medieval texts with solutions, uniquely designed trained for task. Our description will start by summarizing previous attempts mixed-results achieved e-palaeography so far, continuously growing field combined scholarship international level. The second part study describes specific project, developed Zetta Cloud, aim demonstrating that, applying state art Computer Vision algorithms, it possible automatically binarize segment text images final scope intelligently extracting content from sample set handwritten pages. Keywords: Middle Ages, Latin writing, palaeography, Artificial Intelligence, Vision, automatic transcription."
