This tool allows researchers, archivists, and enthusiasts to restore the legibility of ancient manuscripts affected by fading ink, yellowing paper, or stains. It uses computer vision techniques (adaptive thresholding, high-pass filtering) to enhance contrast without destroying the original texture.
