Akshara digitizes offline archives for AI training.
The web was the first dataset. It is not the last. At current rates, high-quality web data will be exhausted within the decade.
The world's largest untapped reservoir of human knowledge lives in print, microfilm, and tape. Archives in NYC alone contain over ten billion pages of undigitized text.
Akshara is the infrastructure to unlock it. We digitize, structure, and license physical archives for AI at scale.
In Sanskrit, Akshara means 'that which does not perish'. Physical records decay. Akshara makes them imperishable.
