Shelves to catalog in one recording

Film library shelves or archive boxes and get structured catalog data with titles, locations, and condition.

The problem

1

Backlogs of uncataloged materials grow because manual entry takes 5-10 minutes per item.

2

Archive collections need structured registers for research access β€” but photo logs aren't searchable.

3

Relocating collections requires knowing exactly what's on each shelf β€” information that's often in someone's head.

How Rowcorder solves it

Walk along shelves or open archive boxes while recording. Rowcorder reads titles, identifies creators, notes shelf locations, and assesses condition β€” building your catalog automatically.

Industry context

Libraries and archives face perpetual backlogs of uncataloged materials. Automation of the initial cataloging step could dramatically reduce processing times.

Compliance & regulations

Archives and heritage collections follow national cataloging standards requiring structured metadata. Video-to-catalog automation reduces the barrier to compliance.
