Frequently asked questions

How do I know if Khemeia is suitable for me?

From a sample of your content, we are able to evaluate how suitable this is for processing by Khemeia - running a test on your data then verifies the resulting output.

What if I am already using another workflow?

Your current workflow is likely to be either very labour intensive, or not offer the features and benefits of Khemeia. The integration of our product, which follows viability tests, is normally painless and will in fact enhance your existing system for processing information.

What if I already have a system for managing content or documents?

In this case Khemeia feeds enhanced content into whatever system you use for managing your content or documents.

What if I currently outsource this work?

Like yourself, your outsource solution provider is most likely to welcome the productivity gains that the integration of Stelae’s Khemeia brings.

Should we or our outsourcing company run the software?

Either option can be attractive. Option 1: you yourselves run the software, and then your outsourcing company performs quality control. Option 2: the outsource company themselves take over the entire workflow, running the software on your behalf, and also performing quality control.

I can understand that the software can deal with inline content, but can Khemeia really process the complex format of a typical magazine?

Yes, absolutely. In fact Stelae personnel have a magazine publishing background, and therefore the software was built with this very application in mind.

Where does OCR (optical character recognition) fit in?

This is relevant if your information source is paper or scanned images of text. This does not present a problem, however an additional stage is then required to convert the source documents into digital files using OCR. From this point on, Khemeia then takes over. (We can advise you on this workflow.)

We have our own taxonomy which we would like to utilise?

Yes, we do have this functionality. Khemeia allows specified terms to be validated against a taxonomy, dictionary or definition list.

If Khemeia is such a good product, why have I never heard of it before?

Khemeia, which is the result of years of intensive development work, has only recently emerged from research and development. We are expanding rapidly and already have a number of prestige customers using the product.
