Humanitext Antiqua
Humanitext Antiqua is an innovative conversational platform developed to explore the vast world of Western Classics using cutting-edge AI. At its core, it combines Large Language Models (LLMs) with a trusted academic database, operating on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology.
Humanitext Aozora
Humanitext Aozora is an innovative platform for exploring the vast collection of the Japanese digital library "Aozora Bunko"—comprising over 17,000 works by approximately 1,000 authors—through a conversational AI. It utilizes a database of works from literary giants like Natsume Soseki and Akutagawa Ryunosuke and employs Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology to ensure every AI-generated answer is cited from a source. This allows users to delve deeply into thematic elements, character emotions, and the beauty of the Japanese language within a reliable, academic-grade environment. It is a research and reading tool for a new era, designed for everyone from experts and students to literary enthusiasts.
Humanitext OCR
Humanitext OCR is a next-generation Optical Character Recognition (OCR) platform that leverages Google's powerful multimodal AI, Gemini, as its core engine. It goes beyond merely transcribing characters; it allows users to provide instructions in natural language to extract specific parts of a document or automatically format complex, structured information into JSON. Furthermore, it features an AI-powered auto-correction function that intelligently fixes common recognition errors found in traditional OCR. From digitizing research materials to streamlining daily data entry, Humanitext OCR meets all transcription needs with high precision and flexibility.
