FromThePage Hosting

Collaborate with others to transcribe documents.

FromThePage is software for transcribing documents and collaborating on transcriptions with others.

Use FromThePage for everything from simple, plain-text transcription projects to bilingual digital scholarly editions with annotations. Add digitized historic documents to a FromThePage site and invite your community to help transcribe and translate those materials.

Andornot offers FromThePage hosting through our Managed Hosting service.
