The Problem

• The Internet enables anyone from anywhere to
  access knowledge online
• The largest reservoir of knowledge remains in
  books and is not online
• Reaction of the young generation
• All that is not online does not exist !
• Knowledge is imprisoned between pages of books
• Extracting knowledge from books requires to
  digitize books
• Digitizing a book requires
• turning one by one all pages
• presenting pages to a scanner

The Challenge

• To scan pages with good image quality
• To take care of the book and not damage it during
  the process
• To manage the variety of
• book formats and page sizes
• thick or thin papers
• soft or rigid covers
• bindings
• To do the job faster and cheaper
