## Dawsonia App

Welcome to the **Dawsonia App** – a demo web application developed by [**SMHI**](https://smhi.se), in collaboration with [ENCCS](https://www.enccs.se/). [Dawsonia](https://dawsonia.readthedocs.io/en/latest) is a tool built for digitization of
handwritten observations in weather journals

### How It Works

1. **Upload** tab: Either,
    **1a.** select from the **examples** on the right side bar, or
    **1b.** submit your own PDF / Zarr.zip file and **upload**.
2. **Digitize**: click on the blue button to digitize the data previewed above.
3. **Results** tab: View the digitized text generated by the system.
<!-- 3. **Export:** Choose your preferred format and download your results. -->

> Note: This demo application is for demonstration purposes only and is not intended for production use.
