End-to-End Digitization
Workflow
A systematic approach to high-volume document digitization with complete traceability at every stage.

Image Capture
Field operators use the Anubis desktop application to capture high-quality images of documents using professional cameras.
No scanners required. Perfect for fragile, bound, or oversized documents that cannot be fed through traditional scanning equipment.
Automatic detection of QR codes for batch identification, document metadata, and sequence tracking.
Operators see captured images immediately and can retake if quality doesn't meet standards.
Local SQLite database stores all work. Continue capturing even without network connectivity.
Key Metric: Images Transferred
The original count of images captured and sent from field operators to central office. This is tracked via transferOperatorId and originalTransferImageCount.
Secure Transfer
Captured images are securely uploaded to cloud storage, ready for central office processing.
Works with AWS S3, MinIO, Backblaze B2, or any S3-compatible storage provider configured per organization.
Large uploads can be paused and resumed. Network interruptions won't lose progress.
Secure, time-limited upload URLs ensure only authorized transfers reach your storage.
File hashes verify integrity. Every uploaded image is confirmed to match what was captured.
Central Office Editing
Editing operators process transferred images - cropping, splitting, merging, and preparing for client delivery.
Crop, rotate, adjust contrast, and optimize images for final delivery specifications.
Split double-page captures into individual pages. One captured image becomes two delivered images.
Reorder, renumber, and manage image sequences to match delivery requirements.
Review and approve images before moving to delivery. Flag issues for rework.
Key Metric: Images Edited
Count of images processed by editing operators. Tracked via editingOperatorId and currentImageCount.
Client Delivery (Ingest)
Final processed images are delivered to the client's systems with complete audit trails and verification.
Native integration for delivering genealogical records directly to FamilySearch systems.
Output in client-specified formats (JPEG, TIFF, PNG) with required naming conventions.
Complete record of who delivered what, when, with file hashes for verification.
Ingested image counts drive billing. This is your invoiceable work.
Key Metric: Images Ingested
Images actually delivered to the client. This is the invoiceable count, tracked via ingestOperatorId, ingestDate, and currentImageCount.
Understanding Your Metrics
Three distinct metrics track work through the pipeline and drive payments and invoicing.
Images Transferred
Original count sent from capture operators to central office. This is what capture operators initially deliver.
Images Edited
Images processed by editing operators. May differ from transferred count due to splits/merges.
Images Ingested
Final images delivered to the client. This equals Images Total once delivery is complete.
