Transcribe only what is visible
Inspect the untouched source and record readable characters with uncertainty where needed. Keep the board in relation to the class and its setting. A faint date or class name can be useful, but do not complete it from an expected phrase. Preserve a crop of the source before any automated processing changes the writing.
Compare letter structure
Look for strokes joining, digits changing, or erased chalk becoming a new word. Chalk texture and board scratches can confuse enhancement. Review the restored crop beside the original at the same scale. An output that looks easier to read may be a coherent replacement rather than a faithful rendering of the original marks.
Support captions independently
Check school records, another print, or a reliable event note if the writing affects identification. Keep the transcript tied to its source crop and label uncertain words. Save the full image and any restrained viewing version. Do not use newly generated lettering to assign a date or school that the original evidence did not establish.
Check before finishing
- The source has a cautious transcript.
- Changed characters were inspected.
- Caption claims have independent support.
