Cet article explore la manière dont les développements des logiciels et du numérique ont révolutionné les protocoles de recherche et les méthodes de traitement des archives littéraires qui ont été mon objet d’étude depuis plus d’une décennie. Plus spécifiquement, l’article traite de la manière dont les protocoles de transcription que j’ai utilisés dans l’analyse de divers manuscrits d’écrivains et d’artistes ont été impactés par le développement de nouvelles applications de traitement de texte, les fonctionnalités avancées de programmes multiplateformes comme Adobe Acrobat Reader et l’évolution du numérique. L’article présentera d’abord des perspectives théoriques sur la manière dont les logiciels et les technologies numériques ont transformé la recherche en critique génétique. La seconde partie fournira des exemples tirés d'un corpus de manuscrits inédits de trois auteurs canadiens et français contemporains (G. La Rocque, R. Barthes et A. Ernaux) afin de montrer comment les protocoles de transcription assistée par ordinateur ont révolutionné mon traitement des manuscrits et des images qui y sont souvent intégrés. En prenant comme exemple des manuscrits inédits de ces auteurs, mon but est de montrer que les anciens protocoles utilisés pour effectuer des éditions critiques et transcriptions linéaires, ont en quelque sorte été remplacés par de nouveaux protocoles de transcriptions, créés grâce au développement de programmes tels que Acrobat Reader qui permet de réaliser une transcription fidèle des particularités typographiques et topographiques des corrections (ratures, ajouts, surcharges) qui parsèment les manuscrits.
