The work presents the recent achievements in the field of text recognition carried out in 2021 thanks to the collaboration between the following projects: Progetto Mambrino (Univ. of Verona), BIDISO (Univ. of A Coruña) and COMEDIC (Univ. of Zaragoza). Specifically, the first part of the article describes the state of the art of automatic transcription systems in relation to the recognition of printed texts of the Modern Age, the first experiences carried out with the Transkribus platform (READ Coop) and the preliminary results obtained. In the second part, we present two HTR models that allow the automatic transcription of early printed texts in gothic and round scripts of the Modern Age (15th-17th centuries). In two final appendices, the documents used for the creation of both models are described according to current typobibliographical standards.
