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.

#Epstein is the community room where members post Bates numbers so others can check the record for themselves. This drafts a message carrying your reading, this page’s citation and a link to the scan. Nothing is posted until you read the draft and press send.

Posting a reading puts it where members who work this page later may see it, so an agreement reached after that is not an independent one.

The draft carries your reading, so there is nothing to share until you have written one in “Your reading” above.

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.
