Online Data Entry Services

Many businesses opt to outsource their documentation work to firms that are specialists and can provide a full service at an affordable price. These services may include image scanning, text scanning, documentation management and legal documentation. Here’s what we provide here at documentscanning.net so that you can get an idea of what’s available to your business:

  • Data capture and conversion: When it comes to data capture there are several stages of the process. Not only is there the collecting but also the formatting, arranging and storage of it. In some cases data has to be converted to another format. The following could be used when you select your document management options:
    • Digitization: This process is when analogue sources are digitized. For example you may have a video tape or a drawing that needs to be turned into an electronic file.
    • OCR (Optical Character Recognition): This process is what reads the text from paper so that it can be transformed into a digital version of editable text. Photographs and brochures from years gone by can be reused and enhanced through the use of OCR.
    • Scanning and indexing: It’s easier to retrieve documents from a digital storage facility than it is from a physical document archive. By using a process of scanning and digitization all photos, medical records, receipts, business cards and drawings can all be stored and accessed easier.
    • ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition): Handwritten forms can be translated by ICR process so that a computer can analyse and store the data captured. Examples of use include banking forms, medical forms and other forms.
  • Legal forms: Many legal companies often use our services to keep their documentation safe. They will scan and store deeds, court records, evidence and other case notes for their legal teams and clients.
