Free pilot — 5 pages, no credit card required
Three simple steps to transform scanned documents into a searchable, AI-enriched archive.
Drag and drop scanned newspaper images (JPEG, PNG). Upload via the web interface or connect a shared folder for batch processing.
Our multi-stage AI pipeline analyzes layout, transcribes every column and ad, structures content into articles, and verifies accuracy against the original scan.
Browse your digitized library, search by keyword or meaning, ask questions with the AI Librarian, and explore AI-generated historical context for every page.
Everything you need to digitize, search, and analyze historical documents.
Reads 5-7 column layouts, rotated ads, tables, and edge content from historical broadsheets.
Automatically separates and classifies articles, advertisements, legal notices, and mastheads.
Generates historical context and era-relevant annotations for each extracted article.
Search by meaning, not just keywords. Vector-powered search finds relevant articles even without exact word matches.
Ask questions across your entire archive in natural language and get AI-powered answers with source citations.
Process entire collections at once. Upload multiple scans and let the AI pipeline handle them sequentially.
Searchable PDF, ALTO/XML, JSON, and Markdown exports for integration with library systems and research tools.
Auto-typed content: article, advertisement, legal notice, public announcement, masthead, and more.
