Scan, upload, preserve: Mobile app to decentralise digitisation of Assamese language books
A new mobile application is set to facilitate the digitisation of Assamese language books and manuscripts. This initiative, led by the Nanda Talukdar Foundation, aims to decentralise the digitisation process and encourage community participation. The app will allow users to scan and upload documents, which will then be vetted before being added to a digital repository.
- ▪The mobile app will enable users to digitise Assamese manuscripts and link them to a large digital repository.
- ▪The 'Digitising Assam' project has already preserved 2.76 million Assamese archival documents.
- ▪The application is scheduled for launch in June and will be available for Android users only.
