Make History Actionable

Converting your historic archives to digital, searchable data enables you to facilitate knowledge sharing by creating a database, allowing for a quick and simple look-up.

The complexity and volumes of your archives can make back-file conversion of your historic documents seem like an overwhelming and expensive project -- if you leave archiving to manual keying and sorting.  Historic documents, such as civic archives, public records, census information, or city/municipality records, often contain difficult-to-read cursive handwriting from centuries ago, and are high in volume.  Manual keying of this complex data is time-consuming, costly, and carries the risk of human error.   A2iA allows you to employ intelligent recognition technology to locate and capture this information so you can turn it into searchable and reportable data, without the need for human labor.

  • Locate and extract alpha, numeric, and alpha-numeric information such as names, birth / death dates, gender, historical events, or countries, for example.
  • Allow information to be compiled into a global knowledge database, available for quick search and look-up by keyword or phrase.
  • De-classify information not suitable for public viewing by locating words or phrases to be redacted.
  • Enhance privacy by eliminating third-party interaction such as manual keyers and sorters.
  • Free physical space and reduce risk by turning physical documents into digital records.


Facilitate Knowledge Sharing

Capable of locating, capturing and indexing even the most complex data, A2iA helps preserve history and make it actionable and available for citizens, historians, and genealogists alike, including difficult to read century old handwriting on documents like census records, military archives, and genealogy studies.

Create manageable, intelligent archives for your historical documents and back-files with A2iA’s unique technology that goes beyond traditional OCR and ICR engines. A2iA’s proprietary IWR (Intelligent Word Recognition) locates and extracts information just as a human would, by recognizing whole words, including old-fashioned cursive handwriting.
