Text digitalization with OCR. We digitalize documents, books out of print or manuscripts written with typewriter and provide the extracted texts as editable files.

Manual post processing. Upon request we compare the OCR results manually with the original text and correct OCR mistakes. You receive a text version that’s true to the original.


This is what we offer

From single pages to whole books. We digitalize printed texts, from a few pages to whole books. You can send us the originals per post or as scans. We preferably work with texts in German, English or Polish. Other languages upon request.

Standard or according to your wish. As a rule we digitalize the complete content of a manuscript and transform it into an editable Word file. Of course we can exclude certain elements from being digitalized (such as tables and charts, captions, footnotes, etc.).


Your options in detail.

  • OCR without manual proofread: Delivery of the raw OCR results (so called dirty OCR)
  • OCR with manual proofread: Delivery of text version clear of OCR mistakes
  • OCR including proofread: cleaned version adapted to new German spelling rules
  • Implementation and actualization of references within the text
  • Formatting of the texts according to your specifications

This is how we work

Preparation.If the material you want us to digitalize only exists on paper, we scan it. Afterwards we clean and optimize the scanned results. This way, we improve the OCR results.

Manual postprocessing.OCR software never works a hundred percent accurately. Besides that, the OCR results always depend on the original’s quality. Upon request, we manually post process the OCR results and correct the mistakes resulting from the automated text recognition.
