Digitization of books
Old books, albums, valuable estates, or extensive archives – with our professional book digitization, we make content permanently accessible and securely preserved. Whether for libraries, companies, research institutions, or private collections, we transform physical volumes into high-quality digital formats.
Care and preservation are our top priorities. Our methods are gentle and precise – from single volumes to mass digitization – including text recognition (OCR), transcription, structured data capture, and long-term archiving. The result: digital copies that are readable, searchable, and ready for use across media platforms.
Protect your collections and make their content accessible anywhere. We provide individual consultation and handle the entire digitization process – reliably, efficiently, and in full compliance with data protection standards.
Our services include:
- Gentle digitization of bound works, including fragile and historical volumes (opening angle up to 90°)
- High-resolution color or grayscale scanning
- Text recognition (OCR) for searchable PDFs or editable text formats
- Transcription of handwritten texts
- Metadata capture according to your specifications (e.g., Dublin Core, IPTC)
- File conversion and preparation for digital libraries or web portals
- Long-term archiving in line with international standards (e.g., PDF/A, TIFF)
- Individual consultation and project management — from single books to large-scale digitization
LIBRIS - Library Image Digitization System
LIBRIS is the result of a collaborative development process that views technology not as an end in itself, but as a tool for the responsible handling of cultural heritage. The combination of:
- semi-automated mechanics
- a V-shaped book cradle
- an opening angle of 120° or 90°
- flexible glass usage
- alternatively to a full-surface glass plate, selective pressure can be applied using a book finger system
- high-resolution camera technology
makes the system a powerful solution for libraries, archives, and research institutions seeking to digitize large and demanding book collections.
