Our Mission

Every Script Tells
a Story Worth Saving

Read Xis an AI-powered platform built to preserve India's linguistic heritage by digitizing, translating, and making accessible the vast wealth of regional-language documents before they are lost forever.

The Problem

A Heritage Crisis in Slow Motion

India is home to one of the world's richest linguistic traditions — yet the physical records of this heritage are vanishing at an alarming rate.

~10M
manuscripts at risk

Fading Manuscripts

Millions of handwritten manuscripts, letters, and archival records in Indian regional scripts are physically deteriorating. Libraries, temples, and family collections hold irreplaceable knowledge that fades with each passing year.

22
official languages

Inaccessible Knowledge

India's 22 official languages use 13 distinct scripts. Valuable content in one regional script remains completely inaccessible to speakers of other languages — creating vast silos of isolated knowledge.

100x
slower manually

No Scalable Solution

Manual transcription by trained scholars is painstakingly slow and prohibitively expensive. India needs modern, AI-powered tools that can process thousands of documents with consistent accuracy.

When a manuscript crumbles, it doesn't just lose paper — it loses the voice of a community, the wisdom of generations, the identity of a people.
