Transformative Case Studies
Real-world success stories showcasing how our advanced OCR solutions unlock centuries of knowledge and transform digital accessibility for leading institutions.
Belgian Senate
Parliamentary Institution • Government Archives
The Challenge
The Belgian Senate possessed 164 years of invaluable parliamentary history (1831-1995) trapped in physical documents. These historical records contained crucial legislative debates, policy decisions, and political discourse in both French and Dutch, but were completely inaccessible to researchers and the public. Traditional digitization methods failed due to complex multilingual layouts, faded texts, and inconsistent document formats spanning over a century.
Our Solution
EasyData deployed a revolutionary multi-engine OCR approach combining ABBYY FineReader, Azure AI Document Intelligence, and proprietary algorithms specifically tuned for historical parliamentary documents. Our team developed custom language models for 19th-century French and Dutch, implemented intelligent layout analysis for complex table structures, and created automated quality validation workflows using our EasyVerify platform.
EasyData transformed our 164-year parliamentary archive into a fully searchable digital resource. Their multi-engine OCR approach achieved remarkable accuracy on historical French-Dutch documents, making our legislative heritage accessible to researchers worldwide for the first time.
European Research Library
Academic Institution • Digital Collections
The Challenge
A leading European research library needed to digitize their rare manuscript collection dating from the 15th to 19th centuries. The collection included handwritten texts, early printed books, and scientific documents in multiple European languages. Standard OCR solutions failed completely on handwritten historical texts, and the library required ALTO XML compliance for long-term preservation and interoperability with international digital library standards.
Our Solution
We implemented a hybrid approach combining Kraken HTR (Handwritten Text Recognition) for manuscripts, ABBYY for printed texts, and custom post-processing algorithms. Our team created specialized training models for historical handwriting styles and implemented advanced layout analysis for complex page structures. The entire workflow produced library-standard ALTO XML with comprehensive metadata extraction and quality validation through our EasyVerify platform.
The ALTO XML production service exceeded our expectations. EasyData's understanding of library standards and their EasyVerify platform made quality control seamless and transparent. Our 500-year-old manuscripts are now searchable and accessible to scholars globally.
National Security Archive
Government Agency • Classified Document Processing
The Challenge
A government security agency required digitization of classified historical documents from the Cold War era. The documents contained sensitive information that could never leave secure facilities, ruling out cloud-based OCR services. The collection included typewritten reports, handwritten notes, technical drawings, and foreign language documents. Security protocols demanded complete data sovereignty while maintaining enterprise-level processing speed and accuracy.
Our Solution
EasyData deployed our pioneering disconnected container solution, installing enterprise-grade OCR infrastructure entirely within the agency's secure network. Our solution combined ABBYY FineReader Server, custom AI models, and specialized technical drawing recognition algorithms—all running in air-gapped containers with no external dependencies. Real-time processing dashboards provided complete visibility while maintaining the highest security standards.
Security was paramount for our historical document digitization. EasyData's disconnected container solution provided enterprise-grade OCR while maintaining complete data sovereignty. Their technical expertise and security understanding exceeded our stringent requirements.
