digitization solution

Digitization is not a new concept. Yet, it doesn’t reach its potentials

Owners of special Collections, personal libraries, private archives and museum tend to not expose their content to any digitization entity, due to confidentiality reasons (sensitive document) or worries about delicate document transportation and handling. However, they can’t fight the craving of having their content preserved!

Our Endeavor will resolve that dilemma;

we’ll use state of art digitization equipment, secure the content exposure, eliminate documents transportation and bad handling and give the owner a fine digital repository platform with Browsing, Searching, and Long-term preservation capabilities. It’s obvious that Moving form old fashioned paper-work to state-of-art digital repository is trending. Either on personal or enterprise level, paper-work is becoming heritage.

Achieving the maximum and the most accurate productions and rates.Audiovisual Content Digitization and Post productions.

We do not stop at the image-capturing step, we exert every possible effort to extract all potential information form scanned document.

Extracting the textual content of images is a challenge especially for the Arabic text due to its character formation, connectivity and shapes. We devised a procedure and developed a knowledge base and machine learning system to achieve a high accuracy and productivity
OCRing will leverage the enterprise search, you can imagine searching inside every article, book and manuscripts and the impact of such search on student, researchers and public.
Some text enhancement processing using post processing applications may be required in order to increase the ability of learning accuracy. After some studies we able to classify Arabic Fonts into specific Font Libraries based on “Shapes, quality and size” which contains most of common shapes of Arabic characters that leads us to reach up to 99% accuracy of some Arabic texts.
