Digitization Services

Every Page as Good as or Better Than the Original

Kirtas is Quality. Whether you are digitizing a decade’s worth of academic journals, or preserving rare, priceless manuscripts, you should only have to do it once. Using the Kirtas APT BookScan System, we provide the highest quality capture method, in conjunction with the most advanced cleanup and enhancement tools found in the Kirtas BookScan Editor software.

We offer image-to-text conversion in nearly 200 languages and an ever expanding possibility of out formats for any need. Our strict quality standards enable Kirtas to produce output that is as good as or better than the original document.

On site, In House or Both…You Decide

There is no one solution for digitization. The needs of a national library with a collection spanning millions of volumes and the needs of a company with a dozen research and development books are quite different. That’s why Kirtas offers multiple solutions for digitization that address all of your needs.

On-Site Operation

Kirtas offers a number of solutions with the purchase or lease of a Kirtas APT BookScan system for digitizing, processing and output of your materials from start to finish.

With an APT system on site at your location, you can handle all of the capture and processing at your own pace and on your own schedule. Depending on your project, we can also provide an image technician to come on site and handle the scanning portion of your job for a limited time, while we process your images at our on-site service bureau.

In-House Solution: The Kirtas Service Bureau

Alternately, you can ship your books to our in-house facility, the Kirtas Service Bureau. KSB has complete state-of-the art equipment and highly-trained Image Technicians ready to turn your books into professional, digital files ready for web presentation, electronic distribution or archival storage.

Once your books are delivered to KSB, they will be inventoried and introduced into our workflow using our propriety inventory tracking system that tracks every step of the digitization process. Your books are scanned and processed by experienced Image Technicians to preserve the highest quality possible.  The files will then be converted into any of several possible output formats and packaged for retrieval from our servers at your convenience or long term storage in our secure, onsite servers.

The Hybrid Solution

For books too precious or confidential to transport, you can use your Kirtas APT BookScan System to capture images on site at your location. Once images are digitized and stored digitally, an experienced Kirtas Image Technician will remotely process the books via a secure internet connection.

If your targeted collection contains thousands or millions of books, the cost of shipping alone may soon outweigh the cost of the equipment and personnel needed to digitize them. By leveraging the power of the Kirtas APT BookScan 2400RA, you can have Kirtas’ advanced network and qualified Image Technicians at your service, processing the books you capture remotely without ever having the physical books or the digital files leave your facility. Kirtas can provide all the manpower necessary to convert the captured images into the digital output of your choice.
