Our ePublishing client is a British company that produces videos, books and multimedia computer software for birdwatchers. The company offers up-to-the-minute news and views on British and Irish birds, comprehensive online and mobile reference, a huge photo library and the best products for birdwatchers everywhere.
The UK-based client's interactive DVD-ROM offers a whole bookcase of material on one disk. SunTec India has digitized and made searchable the entire contents of the journal for the last 100 years. The interactive journal is a treasure trove for all the followers of British ornithology. That's every article including photographs, illustrations and over 40,000 pages of text.
Digitization of Journals: the content from the hard copies had to be scanned, indexed and converted into HTML format. The contents had to be made searchable to ensure that they are interactive, can be easily filtered and display articles, photographs and illustrations quickly.
To convert the textual content from hardcopies to an electronic format economically, the client approached SunTec Web Services, that has a proven expertise in data conversion jobs in an accurate and cost-effective manner. SunTec India has executed similar projects with success for some of the major publication houses, world government agencies and academic institutions.
SunTec started with the manual scanning of the journals. We indexed the headings and zoological terms for birds. We optimized the photographs and illustrations, using latest PDF / Image compression software, which convert PDF, TIFF and JPEG files into compressed, Web-optimized and text-searchable PDF files. The benefits from PDF conversion and compression include greatly reduced storage requirements and substantially shorter download times.
Our experts worked on creating the metadata and index to enable the end-user to search, filter and display all the articles, photos and illustrations in ways not feasible with physical journals. This would allow:
The digitization work done for the UK-based client made 100 years of printed volumes available on one single DVD-ROM. The journals are fully searchable by species, author, photographer, location, date etc. It also allows for filtering and display of all articles, photographs and illustrations.
