Why choose BIQE Archive and how does it function?

Batch processing

BIQE Archive is for people who want to preserve the paper version for the future digitally.

This OCR software is a pre-and post-processing software that uses a batch process. You process an entire book or set one small page and apply the results to the whole document or book in a batch.

Pre- and postprocessing software in one

What steps should be taken with the BIQE Archive?

Step 1

Preprocessing

The most important step in the digitization process is scanning. The better the scan, the easier the post-processing process will be.

This means that an Image in the preprocessing with a poor-quality scan loses a lot of pixel information in the post-processing, which results in a less good OCR result.

I believe older Books or damaged pages should always be scanned in 24-bit colour at 600 dpi.

Note: BIQE Archive has an API driver for higher-quality (expensive) scanners and a Twain driver that automatically recognizes your home scanner.

Step 2

Split and crop

The red line in the centre divides the book's pages into two.

The green frame is the crop of the left page.

The blue frame is the crop of the right page.

Step 3

Postprocessing

The post-processing process begins after all the pages are scanned and you finish the pre-processing. In the process, you use the Image filters BIQE Archive has. You can save these image filters in a profile to reuse with similar books or pages.

Enhance your Images to get the best OCR result.

Step 4

Image profiles

You want to create a specific Image filter order and save it for the BIQE Archive Batch processing. You can choose from 39 different image filters, which you place in a specific order for the best OCR result.

You can also use a particular image filter in the same profile more than once.

Note: Because understanding all these different filters and their functions takes time, we have already created three different Image Profiles for 'dark', 'normal', and 'light' images.

Step 5

Optimal Character Recognition (OCR)

The ultimate goal of the previously mentioned steps is to achieve the best possible OCR result.

This means that after post-processing, we need to write the processed images using a specific file type that will allow us to search for the OCR result.

The best-known format type is the pdf file type. In BIQE Archive, you can save the images in PDF and in many other file types and choose (add) the appropriate OCR language to go with the different file types in BIQE Archive.
