EAD stands for Encoded Archival Description, and is a non-proprietary de facto standard for the encoding of finding aids for use in a networked (online) environment.

Finding aids are inventories, indexes, or guides that are created by archival and manuscript repositories to provide information about specific collections. While the finding aids may vary somewhat in style, their common purpose is to provide detailed description of the content and intellectual organization of collections of archival materials.

EAD allows the standardization of collection information in finidng aids within and across repositories.

Optical Character Recognition, usually abbreviated as OCR, is the mechanical or electronic translation of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten, or printed text into machine-encoded text. It is widely used to convert books and documents into electronic files, to computerize a record-keeping system in an office, or to publish the text on a website. OCR makes it possible to edit the text, search for a word or phrase, store it more compactly, display, or print a copy free of scanning artifacts, and apply techniques such as machine translation, text-to-speech, and text mining to it. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, and computer vision.

This process translates images of typewritten articles into electronic mode or a picture of characters into a standard encoding scheme representing them in ASCII or text.

When it comes to delivering quality OCR services, we have consistently strived to offer you the best by using the complete potential of this innovative technology.

Fixed Layout is a way of formatting an E-Book so that the text and images inside the book are aligned exactly how you want them to be whereas most E-Books allow the text and images to flow in a dynamic way (linear), so as to best take advantage of the differing specifications of the various eBooks. Fixed layout essentially “fixes” the images and text in one place.

Does Your EBook Need Fixed Layout?
Children’s picture / illustrated books are the best example. They require the text and images to be laid out in a specific alignment to each other (e.g. text overlap with images).,

Typically, these books are also good candidates for a Fixed Layout conversion for your E-Book.
• Cookbooks
• Coffee table books
• Graphic novels
• Illustrated children’s books
• Textbooks and technical manuals

Fixed Layout EBook Format Also Work Great With:
• Multi-column text
• Illustrations or artistic photography
• Ratios of the size of text/image which must not change
• Colors which must be true to the paper version
• Full page fixed layout rendering that mirrors the printed book page design.
• Custom font support in scalable vector format.
• Read aloud with auto play
Although Fixed Layout files takes more time to create, our e-technical experts will create a beautiful, fully-functional E-Book that will look exactly the way you want it to.

Your book can be converted into fixed-layout E-Book formats for the following retailers:
• Apple – Fixed-Layout ePUB produced for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices
• Amazon – Kf8 for Kindle devices
• Amazon – Kindle Comic Books for Kindle devices
• Barnes & Noble – Kids books for Nook

Case Study

The following content is excerpted from Publishers Weekly

Being small (and nimble) has worked tremendously well for Swift Prosys, with managing director and founder Mohan Thas Shanmugam busy targeting clients and markets that are often overlooked (and underserved) by the bigger solutions providers. “We have established a roster of clients in very diverse markets such as Canada, South Africa, Australia, Scandinavia, and soon, hopefully, the Middle East.”

But communicating the technical parts of the digitization process can be a daunting task when there are language barriers. With that in mind, one of his project managers took the initiative to learn French for a year to better supervise projects from France and Canada, and to promote Swift Prosys at the Paris and Quebec book fairs. “One French media company now puts through about 50,000 pages a month for online e-paper production, for which the turnaround time can range from one to 48 hours depending on complexity,” says Shanmugam, whose team has rich experience in this segment, having processed and archived millions of newspaper and magazine pages in the past couple of years.

A recent archival project, for instance, saw the team converting trade directories dating back to 1910 for a Scandinavian client. The 120,000 pages were OCR-ed, cleaned, corrected, and converted into XML using RegEx. The final delivery was in ePub2, which was processed automatically from the XML files. “We also had many HTML5 projects in the past year, and that has prompted us to develop a training program on these markup languages, as well as on animation and gaming, where we are seeing more inquiries from different markets.”

For Shanmugam, the lack of resources to establish sales offices in every market that he serves is a good thing as he embarks on a series of partnerships with local companies. “We have partnered with a consulting firm in Italy, for instance, to service government institutions, universities, and libraries in Europe, and with one company in Senegal to further pro-mote our digitization services in West Africa. It works very well because I can rely on my partners who have the local knowledge and network to do their part in marketing and after sales servicing while my team focuses on the production and technical processes.”
