Transcribe Annotations

In transcribe mode a form schema is passed to the viewer along with optional coordinates to highlight regions of the image, such as those returned from a previous selection task, allowing for transcription of specific details found in the image.

Generate Transcribe Annotations by setting the task options type to transcribe, see Configuration for details.

Note that the form task property is required when in transcribe mode. The tag and classification task properties are ignored and are instead taken from form.model and form.classification, respectively.
