Document AI specialist Romin (CEO Ji-Hong Kang) announced on the 4th that it had won a contract to build an AI OCR solution as part of the 'Korea Film Archive's Film Information Management System Enhancement' project.
This project is being carried out in collaboration with the Korea Information Technology Institute, and Romin will provide AI OCR technology, contributing to improving the accuracy of digital archiving.
The Korean Film Archive (hereinafter referred to as the Archive), a public institution under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, collects and preserves various types of domestic and international film and video-related materials. It operates a dual archiving system between its headquarters in Sangam, Seoul, and its preservation center in Paju, and is continuously improving its information management system to ensure the stable preservation and usability of digital video data.
This project aims to enhance the systematic management and usability of cultural heritage by advancing the digitization of documents currently preserved by the archives. A key initiative included the introduction of AI OCR technology, which will automatically extract and process text from books and literature for use as digital assets.
Accordingly, Romin supplies the AI OCR solution Textscope® Reader and the Textscope® Document Center for reviewing and managing document recognition results.
TextScope Reader features an AI OCR engine capable of high-precision recognition of various character types, including printed, handwritten, and typewritten text. It delivers reliable performance even on low-resolution images, smartphone-captured documents, and noisy data. It can accurately recognize even irregular characters, such as handwritten text, making it ideal for digitizing diverse documents and unstructured records from various sources.
TextScope Document Center provides a user-friendly interface for reviewing and editing recognition results, along with a processing statistics dashboard, ensuring both practical convenience and management efficiency.
“It is very meaningful for Romin to participate in this project that will elevate the level of digital preservation of national cultural heritage,” said Romin CEO Kang Ji-hong. “TextScope Reader is a technology optimized for the diverse unstructured record environments of public institutions, such as video archives, and will be able to produce tangible results.”
