How it works

From PDF to structured knowledge

Import any book, manuscript, or document and start researching in minutes.

1

Import your source

Add a PDF or image of any Arabic/Ottoman manuscript. Our AI pipeline automatically detects the document type — digital PDF, scanned book, or handwritten manuscript.

2

AI processes the structure

Our parser identifies headings, body text, footnotes, Quranic verses, hadith, and commentary sections. Scanned documents are processed by our custom Arabic OCR model.

3

Search and discover

Instantly search across all your imported sources. Results are ranked by relevance and grouped by source, making cross-referencing effortless.

4

Take linked notes

Write notes that link directly to source passages. Build a personal knowledge base with full context preserved — ready for research papers or teaching.
