Features

Build and customize streamlined, scalable professional book production workflows using Ketida’s rich web-based tools.

Single Source Book Production

Authors, Editors, Production Staff, Designers all use the same source file - reducing the potential for errors and accelerating the production time. Single Source Publishing at it’s best!

Push Button Publishing

Push button publishing is baked into Ketida. Typesetting happens in real-time — getting you from written word to final output as quickly as possible. Author proofs created at the push of a button, and final outputs available to you as soon as the work is completed.

Great for Remote Teams

Your books can be assessed from anywhere at anytime - accelerating collaboration within both remote and realspace teams.

Open Source

Streamlining book publishing requires developing scalable, standards-based technology solutions. Ketida turned to the Coko Foundation to build a comprehensive solution for the entire publishing community.

Complete with Track Changes, Math support, footnotes, comments, complex tables, Grammlerly integration and more…perfect for authors, copy editors, proofers, extensive keyboard shortcuts etc - wax feels like the word processor you always wanted…

Built by Coko and the Coko Community

Ketida is built by the Coko development team. Increasingly Coko is also facilitating organisations to extend Ketida to meet their needs as well as extending Ketida on a for hire basis. The Coko end-user community of Publishers, Copy Ketida, Production Editors, Book Designers, Indexers, Authors (etc) as well as Artists, and folks from Print on Demand and Publishing Services organisations etc have all been the drivers behind the design of Ketida since the beginning.
