How it works
Built for scholars who care about attribution
Every annotation in Glintstone — transliteration, lemmatization, translation, AI suggestion — carries who made it, when, and how. Competing interpretations are both stored. No reading overwrites another.
When two scholars disagree on a word, Glintstone keeps both readings, both attributed. When a machine learning model proposes a translation, it is labeled as such, with its confidence score and the evidence it was given.
This is infrastructure for the scholarly record, not a replacement for it.

What you can do
Research infrastructure, not a search box
Track pipeline completeness
Every artifact moves through five stages — captured, recognized, transcribed, lemmatized, translated. See at a glance where scholarly effort has the highest leverage.
AI translations with grounded citations
AI-assisted translations with a citation for every claim. See the full token chain. Know when scholars disagree. Know when the model is estimating.
