拼写变异是中世纪手稿研究、理解和翻译中的一个重要障碍。在这篇简短的论文中，我们描述了一个新的过程和工具，POM（语音正字法映射器），我们开发的拼写变化映射到今天使用的标准德语正字法。该工具基于语音分析和机器学习技术。POM被应用于超过20，000份数字化的德国中世纪手稿，我们能够正确地映射超过60，000种拼写变体。在这篇简短的论文中描述的研究是一个更大的跨学科项目的一部分，在“数字人文”，特别是关于软件工具的支持，用于处理历史的中欧文件写在中世纪的德语方言。
Spelling variations pose a critical obstacle in the study, comprehension, and translation of medieval manuscripts. In this short paper we describe a new process and tool, POM (Phonetic Orthography Mapper), we developed to map spelling variations to standard German orthography used today. The tool is based on phonetic analysis and machine learning techniques. POM was applied to more than 20,000 digitalized German medieval manuscripts and we were able to correctly map more than 60,000 spelling variations. The research described in this short paper is part of a larger interdisciplinary project in the "digital humanities", particularly about software-tool support for the handling of historic central-European documents written in medieval German dialects.
