Achieved 200% Increase in Cloud-based AI Ebook Reader Application Sales and Subscriptions for Italy based Company

While building the application, the company did have its own set of challenges that were creating minor to major inconveniences. The list goes like

• Converting a book in pdf/epub file format into HTML
• Implementing the same structure for two different file formats - pdf and epub
• Providing a swipe option as the users traverse through the pages, bookmark facility, and draggable sticky notes that can be used as per the user requirements.
• Saving the file into ‘xyz’ format, making it non-readable by other applications, and loading the same data into the system.
• Incorporating AI Technology for text and audio search, in-built word dictionary, and even read out the text for the readers.
• Mobile responsiveness with all the web functionalities intact and dynamic pages for easy compatibility on all devices.
• Minimizing the latency time and load efforts when there is a bigger file upload that may take time.

While the client has been looking for a way out to meet all the laid down goals and objectives and overcome the inevitable challenges in the process, Ryan software came to the rescue. With our services, we helped our clients to gain double subscriptions and increase sales by 200%.

• We’ve used PDFJS and BackboneJs to read the PDF and Epub files respectively and convert them into HTML format. We also use ghost script with ImageMagick library for storing them into the server.
• Once the files are converted into HTML format, we’ve defined a common structure for both PDF and Epub files and convert their default structure into our structure.
• We’ve used HammerJs for easy swipe options, saved the bookmark pages into the user database for easy retrieval, and created our own function using jQuery UI for a drag-and-drop sticky note functionality.
• The entire data is encrypted while saving the pages and converted into ‘xyz’ format. We also provided another extra layer of security by encrypting the local data at the application end and disabled the developer tools on the browser.
• Using AI technology and Deep learning, we’ve eased the search function, know the meaning of the words with a single tap. We’ve also used Google Text-to-Speech(gTTS) libraries for text to audio file conversions.
• We’ve also created a script for styling and user annotations to dynamically improve the mobile experience for the readers.
• We chose to load only one page at a time and keep the other pages in the backend to minimize the load time.

We have been committed to excellence and have enough expertise in web development applications.
