The present investigation centres on the main aspects of massive digitalization of texts and the automated recognition of digitalized images thanks to OCR/HTR softwares. Finally, we present an experiment on HTR recognition dealing with XVI Century Spanish Romances of Chivalry and is delivered a model to transcribe in a semi-automated and collaborative way these texts.
