OpenConvert

The OpenConvert tools output TEI from a number of input formats.

Using the command line

The OpenConvert distribution can be accessed at https://github.com/INL/OpenConvert.

The command line can be used as follows:

java -jar OpenConvert.jar -from <input_format> -to <output_format> <input> <output>

Options:

-from input format: text, TEI, alto, doc, docx, HTML
-to output format: TEI, text or folia

Arguments:

input filename, directory name or zip archive name (ending with .zip)
output filename, directory name or zip archive name (ending with .zip)

If the from and to flags are omitted, the conversion to be applied will be guessed from file name extensions.

NOTE: the default setting for server is a bit unfortunately set to an INT-internal address. You should be able to run your own test run with the following command line:

java -jar openconvert.client.jar -f text -t tei -a chn-tagger -s https://openconvert.ivdnt.org/openconvert/file test.txt
