![Kindex Software]()
by Cathy Gilmore | Jan 10, 2016 | RootsTech 2016, Software
We are excited to debut our indexing software at RootsTech 2016. Kindex is web software that will available for subscription purchase on a monthly or yearly basis. Stay tuned for details on subscription pricing and other Kindex services.
Through the Kindex™ web app, users create a “Kindex”—a living archive where anyone can contribute, index, and share family records. Families may establish a Kindex™ using FamilySearch account, which provides a foundation of family names for your Kindex™. As records are gathered and attached to family names, they can be indexed privately within families or released as public indexing projects. Our indexing tool employs a simple side-by-side user interface where the user enters indexes the record and applies tags. Once approved by a family administrator, completed indexing becomes accessible and searchable through tools such as search engines, Kindex™ and FamilySearch, and other family history partners. Within Kindex™, users may also read indexed records, attach them as FamilySearch Memories, search their content, share on social media, or print to paper or PDF.

Kindex™ brings family records out of obscurity through indexing—creating a searchable, shareable archive that connects records to families and researchers. Here’s how it works:
Gather
Organize your family records by person, record type, and date. After you scan and digitize your records, add them to your Kindex.org Archive.
• Unite family records (multiple file types)
• Establish record provenance
• Unlimited space
Index
Transcribe your records and invite others to help. Add tags for people, places, events, and subjects. Archive Administrators verify all indexing (transcription and tagging).
• Invite family and community to index
• Build your searchable archive
• Credit those who transcribe and tag
Share
As Archives grow, search, read and share new family stories and records. Connect Family Archives together, and print complete, sourced archival books.
• Add tagged records to FamilySearch Memories
• Share memories on social media
• Print archive—in part or whole—to an easy-to-read PDF
• Read transcribed records within the browser
• Download original records
See our debut at RootsTech in Salt Lake City, February 3–6, 2016!
