Scribe Software

Scribe Software is a system for the nondestructive scanning and digitization of books with the Internet Archive's Scribe machine.

Its book-scanning system takes high-quality images of books and then does a set of manipulations, gets them in optical character recognition and compressed, resulting in printable versions of the book that are also searchable.

The Java UI and PHP image processing pipeline produce books for www.archive.org and other digital libraries.
