We also specialize in scanning and digital conversion of newspaper, METS (Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard) and ALTO (Analyzed Layout and Text Object) and deliver superior quality searchable indexed documents.
We microfilm the original newspaper and generate web image files. We crop, de-speckle and de-skew the images and assign metadata for each edition, article or page to optimize it for search engines. Finally, these are run over high-resolution images for full text which is ultimately imported into a digital library in the form of PDF.
Following the process of contemporary newspaper digitization, we deliver high-end online newspapers in digital format accessible to a larger spectrum of audience. We clip, scan, crop, and manually zone newspapers to convert it into searchable PDF and XML files.

METS & ALTO
METS is all about “Metadata Encoding and Transmission Standard” which is performed to maintain the metadata of the digitized material for long. During this phase, the names and location of the metadata files are stored/recorded generating XML documents having hierarchical pedigree.
When it comes to ALTO (Analyzed Layout and Text Object) – it is an XML outline that is known as the extension schema to METS. It contains a style format where different styles are mentioned. It is segmented into multiple regions like right margin, left margin, bottom margin, etc.
Both of it carry a detailed logical and physical architecture of a document and newspaper.
