KitapTarama

KitapTarama is a professional digitization service that converts books, magazines, newspapers, and large-format documents into digital form with high precision using purpose-built scanners. It is not a downloadable app or a monthly subscription; it is a scanning, OCR, and filing operation that our expert team carries out for your specific collection.

We scan everything from ordinary paperbacks to bound academic works, thin and worn archival books, and rare antique volumes. We have developed dedicated scanners for each book type, including angled V-shaped scanners that protect bindings from damage and high-speed flatbed scanners for thin, flat pages. Scanned pages go through automatic perspective correction, edge cleanup, and grayscale or color optimization before being merged in order into a layered PDF, complete with a table of contents and bookmarks — the digital twin of a professionally printed book.

Our OCR engine, which recognizes Turkish characters with high accuracy, places a text layer over the image layer of the PDF, turning your scanned books into real text. The resulting searchable PDF lets you find a single word within a book of hundreds of pages in seconds, and quote or copy and paste from it freely.

If you need to work with the content rather than just read it, scanned material can be converted into an editable Microsoft Word (.docx) document, or delivered as Excel, EPUB, plain text, or HTML when needed. Beyond books, we run a separate scanning track for invoices, contracts, personnel files, medical reports, architectural projects, A0-size maps, posters, newspapers, and textile patterns.

A mobile app may be enough for an individual user. But libraries, corporate archives, law firms, healthcare institutions, and publishers need thousands of pages digitized reliably, accurately, and in a legally valid way — a standard amateur scanning with a phone camera cannot meet. KitapTarama is an end-to-end service from a team that has invested in dedicated hardware for every product type: you hand us the book, and we take care of professional scanning, OCR, and PDF production, leaving you with searchable, shareable, archivable digital content.

Libraries and universities use it to digitize their collections and rare-work archives. Law firms use it to convert file, petition, and archive collections into searchable PDFs and speed up case preparation. Hospitals and clinics use it to move patient files into a digital archive. Accountants and accounting firms use it to organize years of accumulated paperwork. Publishers use it to reissue out-of-print books as e-books. Architecture and engineering firms use it to digitize A0 and A1 drawing archives. And families and collectors use it to preserve treasured books, letters, and journals inherited from earlier generations.

The process starts with a quote: you tell us the type of book or document, the page count, and the output format you need. We then arrange collection, either by visiting you or picking items up with insured courier transport. Scanning takes place on the appropriate scanner track, followed by OCR processing and PDF assembly. Every page then goes through manual quality control before originals are returned and digital deliverables — PDF, Word, EPUB, and more — are handed over.

Pricing is calculated per project based on page count, document type, and the requested output format. You can reach us through https://kitaptarama.com for a preliminary quote.
