Project semANT

We are developing new ways how to navigate, search, explore, visualize and analyze large collections of text documents. We are defining how digitized printed and handwritten documents will be used and accessed in the future.

Make sense of documents

Czech libraries and archives are home to a wealth of digitized documents, and we’ve seen significant strides in improving their online accessibility and search functions. However, the current full-text search, while adept at recognizing different word forms, lacks the ability to understand their meaning, making it a challenge to find documents on specific topics.


At semANT, we’re dedicated to simplifying the search process and improving the exploration of digitized documents, making it more intuitive and insightful for everyone.
