π’We're also delighted to share a complete transcript of 'Sunday Night'. Many of the #DickensDecoders reported that this #SolveItDickens was extra tricky. However, the winners of our original #DecodingDickens competition, Shane Baggs and Ken Cox, made a major breakthrough...π€©
Miss registration for our @BeingHumanFest #BeingHuman2022 workshop? No problem. We'll post some of the challenges, so you can give #DecodingDickens a go!
First up, can you decode this #shorthand Dickens character name? Match the consonants then fill in the vowels yourself... π
It was amazing to take the #DickensCode on the road, with a series of workshops at Gad's Hill School (Dickens's former home)
Amazing work from #DickensDecoders in Years 5, 6, and 9 πππ
Thanks for hosting @GadsHillEnglish

Deadline for the Tavistock Letter challenge: 31 December 2021. Help us by retweeting! #digital #corpuslinguistics #shorthand #MachineLearning
#DecodingDickens Puzzle Solution: As seen below, the answers are #Dickens's novels 'Little Dorrit' (1857) and 'Hard Times' (1854)! Only consonants are used here, requiring the codebreaker to:
π Recognize the word meant
π Supply the vowels
Andrea Nini defines the use of forensic linguistics in shorthand decoding as 'decipherment' (linguistics) rather than 'decryption' (mathematics).
Using its methods has #literary, #historical, and #legal implications for 19th century study and 21st century life!
#DecodingDickens
The final speaker of the panel (and day) is Andrea Nini who is discussing forensic linguistics and decoding shorthand. #DecodingDickens
Next in the panel is Huiyu Zhou investigating whether its possible to programme machines to read shorthand, and the potential benefits and issues with this strategy. #DecodingDickens
It's been a full day of incredible speakers and inspiring digital projects (Dickens and otherwise) at #DecodingDickens, but it's now time for the final panel: The Decoding Challenge. @cwoodwadsley begins with the Tavistock letter written entirely in shorthand - what does it say?
Now John Drew lists the benefits of using @Dickens_DJO, hosted by @BuckEngLit, which has digitised #Dickens's periodicals. Transcription correction was done by volunteers following media publicity!

Philip Schofield: @TranscriBentham had an uptick in transcribers during lockdown.
Banana bread, usurped! @dickens_code #DecodingDickens
Questions you never think you'd have to think about - how *do* you catalogue a joke? It's essential if you want to help people searching for topics. e.g. "How did the chicken cross the road" filed under "poultry", "highways", "animal migration"... #DecodingDickens
Introducing in-process and fully-searchable project The Old Joke Archive, Bob Nicholson @DigiVictorian explains the delight of recovering and studying humour of the #Victorian era.
Found a hilarious 19th century witticism? Users will be able to add source data! #DecodingDickens
Bob Nicholson showing us how to become "joke detectives" for upcoming The Old Joke Archive Website !
Being amused is quite technical!

@EmmaLCurry and Aine McNicholas describe Deciphering Dickens, a project transcribing #Dickens manuscripts in the Forster Collection at the @V_and_A
.
The next crowdsourced transcription occurs at @dickensproject's 2021 #DickensUniverse! #DecodingDickens

@dickens_code is such a rich project in terms of the range of expertise, individual perspectives, and the goals for public engagement #DecodingDickens
The next panel in #DecodingDickens has begun, considering online projects and crowdsourcing (and how we can use this to decipher Dickens's shorthand notes). Gowan Dawson begins with digitalised journals and the issue of how to make images searchable as well as text.
