Automating Data Capture, Forms Processing and Best Practices
Advanced forms processing, which automates the capture of data from paper documents, employs Machine Instruction, Machine Learning, Optical and Intelligent Character Recognition (OCR/ICR) and sophisticated data repair technologies to ensure highly efficient, virtually error-free scanning and processing of data, images, and barcodes from structured and unstructured forms of multiple lengths, sizes, and shapes.

Microfilm, Microfiche, and Microform Conversion Best Practices
If you’ve ever squinted at a grainy microfilm reader in a library or struggled with an ancient microfiche machine that seems to have been designed before the invention of user-friendly interfaces, you know the frustration of trying to access information trapped in these legacy formats. While microfilm and microfiche served their purpose brilliantly for decades […]
Ensuring Excellence: Quality Assurance in Document Scanning
Quality assurance in document scanning isn’t just important – it’s essential. A comprehensive quality management system can make the difference between a successful digitization project and an expensive mistake. Let’s start with a scenario that probably sounds familiar: Your organization has finally decided to tackle that mountain of paper documents sitting in storage rooms and […]
