The Product Line
Capture gets your pages in. IllumiLib turns them into clean, AI-ready PDF and TXT files. Personal Library is where you actually put that library to work, asking it questions with every answer checked against the source. Listen turns the result into an audiobook. Use any stage on its own, or run the full pipeline.
How the Pipeline Fits Together
Every stage works on its own — jump straight to IllumiLib for OCR alone, or run the full pipeline end to end. None of the stages require the others.
Capture
Screen-capture pages to ZIP
IllumiLib
Enterprise OCR → AI-ready PDF + TXT
Personal Library
Ask your library anything — verified
Listen
TXT → MP3 audio book
Run the full pipeline from Capture to Personal Library to Listen, or use just IllumiLib on its own — every stage stands alone.
Step 2 — The Engine
Enterprise-grade OCR. Built for AI and RAG.
IllumiLib is the engine at the center of the pipeline — it turns photographed or scanned book pages into clean, AI-ready PDF and TXT files. Upload from any scanner, phone, or the optional IllumiLib Capture app, and the platform runs Google Cloud Vision Document Text Detection with extraordinary accuracy. Review OCR quality page by page, assign custom page numbering schemes, and download a finished PDF and TXT file built for retrieval-augmented AI tools. Use the output directly with ChatGPT, NotebookLM, or Claude — or feed it into Personal Library, where you put that library to work.
Step 1 — Get Pages In
Bring any digital content into your library.
A scanner or phone camera is all IllumiLib needs — Capture is the first, optional stage of the pipeline for a faster upload workflow. Use it to capture screenshots of on-screen content — presentation slides, web articles, digital documents, or any application window — one page at a time or in rapid-fire batch mode. Captured pages are automatically numbered and packaged into a ZIP file ready to upload directly to IllumiLib.
Step 4 — Listen to Your Library
Turn any text into a remarkably human audio book.
If you'd rather listen than read, Listen — the pipeline's final, optional stage — takes the TXT output from IllumiLib and converts it into high-quality MP3 audio books. The results sound astonishingly human — not the robotic synthetic voice you expect from standard text-to-speech. Listen while commuting, exercising, or simply when your eyes need a rest.
Step 3 — Ask Your Library Anything
Your books. Your AI. Every answer verified.
IllumiLib's PDF and TXT output already works with ChatGPT, NotebookLM, or Claude. Personal Library is the dedicated, private research assistant built around your own digitized books — the way to put everything IllumiLib produces to work. Load one or more PDF and TXT outputs, ask any question in natural language, and receive answers displayed alongside the actual scanned page images that support them — so you can verify every answer against the primary source yourself. Your books themselves stay on your machine; only portions of the indexed text are sent to the cloud to generate AI answers.
