“Where does this collection actually support that statement?”
Search recognized or extracted text, inspect the relevant passage, and follow the reference back to its document or page.
What you can explore.
A focused demonstration shows the workflow on a configured Pilot 1.0 workstation.
Search across records
Work through supported PDFs, scans and text-based documents as an indexed collection.
Recognize scanned text
Use OCR to make image-based pages discoverable. Inspect difficult type, damage and layout against the scan.
Follow the source reference
Keep the supporting document and available page reference attached to the result.
Ask about the collection
Use indexed evidence to support a question. Review cited material and avoid treating an unsupported response as a finding.
Keep collection context
Use file details and source locations to distinguish similarly named documents and related records.
Work from preserved sources
Review derived text and useful references while keeping original documents intact.
Built around the material you work with.
Libraries, research teams, institutional archives and organizations working with mixed document collections.

Performance and accuracy depend on source quality, supported formats, language and workstation configuration.
Documents & PDF questions.
Can VAIMS search a scanned PDF?
Supported scanned pages can be processed with OCR. Recognition quality depends on the scan, language, print quality and page layout.
Does an answer replace reading the document?
No. The workflow keeps supporting material accessible so a reviewer can check what the document actually says.
Which document formats should I bring to a demo?
Describe your formats in the inquiry. The demonstration and evaluation scope will identify which formats are supported by the offered configuration.
