Services


Digitization Means Kirtas

Since its beginnings, Kirtas Technologies has offered an ever-improving series of services focusing on high-speed, top-quality digitization of books and bound documents for organizations, institutions and companies of all sizes.

We provide the world's leading digitization equipment and software. But we offer more than machines.

Digitization is a wide-ranging process with many valuable options and possibilities. We provide and enhance extensive and powerful digitization services that can not only ease the process, but make the digitization as rewarding as it is valuable.

For example?

  • We can help you manage, organize and prepare the volumes targeted for digitization.


  • We can train and assist clients in the operation and process of our digitalization equipment and software.


  • We can provide expert consultation services to help you determine the most efficient and cost-effective means to achieve exactly the final product you need.


  • We can receive books and bound documents directly from clients, digitize them ourselves, and send clients the finished files.


  • We can send people and equipment directly to a client to perform the digitization tasks on-site.


  • Using the remote access capability of products like the 2400RA, clients can scan the books themselves, send us the raw files, and let us handle the more complex job of processing them and outputting them to the format of their choice.


  • We not only turn books to bytes, but can turn them back into books. Our print-on-demand services enable us to create high-quality bound print editions that are a pleasure to read and that can generate profits.


  • And we can turn those digitized files into more than books -- into CDs, DVDs, and the full range of print and electronic media.


  • And we can help you market those books and products -- at no extra cost to the client -- through online distributors like Amazon.com.


Organizations that use Kirtas products include some of the most respected names in the world, with the most exacting standards, from Microsoft to Yale University to the British Library.

The Kirtas Difference

What makes all that possible? Our unique combination of core skills such as:

Inventory and tracking:

Our workflow management software, the Kirtas Inventory, Logistics and Tracking System (KILTS) identifies and follows every single document processed as it moves through the digitization process. And the post-processing actions as well.

Gentle non-destructive handling:

Kirtas' unique, world-renowned robotic page-handling technology treats documents with a gentleness and care that is measurably far safer and gentler than any human hand.

The patented Smart Cradle holder is specifically designed to ensure low stress for rare, brittle, fragile books, and we we specialized products and workflow methodologies for dealing with pamphlets, foldouts, maps and posters.

Quality image capture:

The true distinguishing feature of Kirtas book digitization is not simply its unparalleled speed, but the superior image quality it maintains throughout the digitization process.

Kirtas BookScan Editor Software ensures the delivery of clearer optimal images of the original, which are captured utilizing Kirtas automatic book scanners, digital photography systems, flatbed and overhead systems and film.

The result? Image quality that's often better than the original pages themselves.

High speed and efficiency:

Our high-volume systems provide a rate of image acquisition and enhanced storage that allow high-resolution client projects to be completed at top quality and unmatched speed.

And once your bound documents are digitized? It’s just the beginning. Now you can reprint that content as new high-quality books in a variety of formats and binding options.
