Open your library to the digital world
Use Transkribus to digitise the contents of your library and make it accessible to all.
Digitise newspapers, early or rare prints, and codices
Transkribus provides a quick and easy way to create digital versions of your rare or unique holdings, and any other written media. Using powerful AI models, the platform extracts both printed and handwritten text from scanned images and turns it into digital text files. This means high-quality digital access to newspapers, books, and manuscripts that your institution has in its possession.
Create a scanning station for your visitors
Our ScanTents provide a hassle-free way to equip your visitors with state-of-the-art scanning facilities. The portable tents have built-in LED lighting that won’t harm your books and documents, and a stability mount, allowing your visitors to take high-quality images of documents with just their smartphones—no need for expensive book scanners that you need to teach your visitors how to use.

Enrich your content with metadata
Give your visitors an enhanced reading experience. Using metadata and tags, you — or researchers — can mark important parts of your digital text, such as names or places, making it easier for visitors to find what they are looking for.
