Content Conversion

It is essential to transform your content into multiple reusable and responsive formats and make it more discoverable and easy for you to repurpose. However, while doing so, you need to maintain the integrity of data in terms of style and formatting, or you risk affecting the readability of your content. Transforma uses natural language processing (NLP) to enhance the conversion process and deliver high-quality, structured content in a wide range of output formats such as ePub, ePub2, ePub3, Mobi, HTML5, XML, and SGML.

Transforma’s digital conversion services also include scanning, digitization, and archival work from hard copies of books and journals. We utilize OCR scanning to extract text from images in order to make it easy to search, copy, edit, and reuse. We also seamlessly convert Flash to HTML5 to ensure your interactive content is responsive and can be accessed using any device. Whether your content originated from a hard copy or a soft copy source, we efficiently digitize and transform large volumes in a cost-effective manner.
