Arkindex is the platform developed by Teklia for the automatic processing of large collections of scanned documents. Arkindex offers the following features:

  • Document management: import and organize images of document from files or IIIF manifests
  • Manual annotation: annotate images with zones, transcriptions and classifications
  • Automatic layout analysis: automatically detect documents components (texts, images, graphics, etc)
  • Automatic printed and handwritten text recognition: for printed (OCR) and handwritten (HTR) documents
  • Automatic named-entity extraction: identify persons, places, organizations, etc.

Arkindex is based on IIIF (https://iiif.io/) for images and is fully accessible through a REST API.
