It looks like this is mostly a new transliteration.
It is different from the Takeshi file in very many places.
Did you make it yourself?

I took transliteration from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. as a starting point (which is probably one of Takahashi), then made some adjustments (mostly correcting mistakes and redefining complex symbols and ligatures). I couldn't identify the creator of voynichese.com, so it was done without explicit permission.

- The resolution, close to 50% of the Voynich-Final-Sequential_ID (2014) series, is good enough for web browsing, much better than voynichese.com.
- It must have been a lot of work to make the new bounding-boxes (and sometimes rotated boxes and even polygons, that's new and an improvement over voynichese.com). Voynichese.com used the 2004 scan and the coordinates cannot be converted because of perspective: pages aren't flat.
- The transliteration system is interesting and logical. I haven't understood everything but it seems that C and H work like { and } in EVA and " works like ' in EVA so there should be a way to convert between the two formats, I hope. Smile
c stands for Ce
h stands for eH
s stands for c"


Unfortunately full size images are currently too heavy for online app, so halved images is reasonable compromise for now.

Coordinates were also taken from You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., then mapped to bigger images (this is tricky process, yes: you should find subimage in scaled and rotated image).

Transliteration in the end is based on simple rules: small letters are standalone, upper case letters are to be combined with small (like diacritics), digits are versions, ' is upper case version of ".

s stands for c", but c can be considered as Ce. The difference is that when you search for c or c", you naturally find also s, but when looking for e it may be confusing to yield also c or h.
