Yai4Institution: Built for institutions and libraries

AI workflows for libraries, universities, and archives.

Yai4Institution is built for libraries, universities, and archives: it turns a collection into a digital archive the institution can actually run. Documents are uploaded and digitized, enriched with translation, summarization, speech and diacritics, corrected by hand, and exported in whatever format the work requires — then held in one searchable repository, with full user-role access control across researchers, librarians, and administrators.

Multiple output formats

A digitized document is only useful in the format the next step of the work expects.

Word

Editable text, for onward writing and review.

Searchable PDF

The page image with a text layer behind it — the scan still looks like the scan.

EPUB

Reflowable text, for e-readers and for reading on a phone.

HTML

Structured markup, for publishing on the web and for indexing.

Digitization for institutions

Create custom workflows that support institutional policies and automate OCR, translation, and compliance checks.

A document's processing pipeline, showing completed stages for OCR, Markdown, diacritics, translation, summary and bookmarking, with text-to-speech still running. — Each service selected becomes a stage in the document's pipeline, with its own state.

Admin & role management

Control document access, editing permissions, and audit trails with role-based governance for researchers, librarians, and admins.

The Yai4Institution administrator report: filters for university, department, user and date range above a table of researchers with their department, article count and total pages digitized. — The administrator's report. Filter by university, department, user and date range; the table returns each researcher's article and page counts.

Institutional repository

Enable structured access to academic archives with full-text search, versioning, and controlled user visibility.

The institutional digital database: a paginated, searchable list of digitized Arabic documents with author, publication year, generated summary and subject tags, filtered by subject terms and language. — The digital database. Full-text search across the collection, with facets for subject terms and language.

Put your own collection through it

Send a representative sample — printed, handwritten, Ottoman, or all three — and we will run it through the platform and return the output with the error rates measured on your material rather than ours.
