The cipher pages · EFTA02731361
A blank line starts a new group. A group of two lines is read as a two-rail fence, three lines as three-rail, and so on. Nothing else is inferred from your layout.
If none of these describes how you read the page, leave this unchosen. Your reading is still recorded — the server just cannot re-derive it, so it is never marked as confirmed.
Spacing, case and punctuation are yours to decide — they are not treated as a disagreement with anyone else’s reading. The letters are.
Letter frequency appears once there is something to count.
Recording needs a free account, a community handle and a confirmed email address — nothing else on this page does. If you have not set those up, it is easier to do it before you start than at the end of a page.
Once your own reading of this page is recorded, a paid account can ask a model to have a go at the same scan. It arrives in its own box below and stays there — it is never written into your transcription, and there is nothing here to copy it across with. Treat it as a second opinion to argue with. No person has checked it, machine reading is what already failed on these pages, and it is wrong often enough that the reason it is allowed at all is that your attempt is already on the record before you see it.
It opens after you record your own reading of this page — the ordering is the point, not a formality. If you recorded one on an earlier visit, it is open already.
Machine OCR could not read this page, which is why it is still unread. We publish the scan and no transcript of it — the first text anyone sees becomes the text everyone corrects instead of reading the page.
