Document scanning is performed to convert a document from the paper form into the electronic form (to obtain electronic document image). Document description, or indexing, is aimed at acquiring specific information from the document image, such as invoice number, date (of creation, of payment), name, address etc. The data can be entered manually or using OCR, i.e. automatic text recognition.

SIZE AND QUALITY

We have equipment which makes it possible to process documents from the size of the business card to A0. Thanks to broad experience and top qualifications of our staff our company offers scanning of various documents and is able to obtain good-quality document images from poor-quality originals.

EFFICIENCY

Highly efficient scanners supplied by Bell+Howell, Kodak, Canon and Fujitsu, coupled with software for scanning document sets, enable us to process several hundred thousand documents a day. Since we have various types of scanning equipment, we are able to optimise the process regardless of the thickness, format, age or material of documents to be scanned.

TIME

Order completion times are always agreed individually, depending on order size, volume of documents and means of acquiring data from documentation. Bar codes, document standardisation (enabling the application of OCR and ICR modules), and the use of data already entered in the Customer's database make it possible to considerably reduce document processing times.
