OCR & Scanning
Prepress Solutions can convert your hard-copy manuscripts into digital, editable text. Using state-of-the-art hardware and software, your hard-copy manuscripts are converted into a format of your choice (like searchable PDFs, Word), ready for rapid, organized and simple storage and retrieval.
Alternatively, if you just want to re-print/archive without any modifications, we can scan at high resolution and provide the output in a format ready-to-publish. We even take care of 'crooked' pages, to ensure that the new manuscript is absolutely 'straight'. We also 'clean-up' the pages, removing any dust specks. We can create searchable PDFs with hidden text in the background.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology is a rapid method of data entry. However, depending upon the quality of paper, font size, font type etc, it may not be very accurate. We, therefore, also proofread the manuscript to eliminate any OCR errors which may have crept in. Conversion using the above process is more accurate and more efficient than plain keystroke data input.
We also have expertise in XML/SGML coding, and can tag the OCR output as per your requirements.
In a nutshell, we provide a full range of digital conversion services, including imaging, to leading publishers, academic institutions, financial institutions, government agencies, and major corporations. We convert paper, microfilm, and early-generation electronic content into digital data to meet all your e-publishing and e-content needs.
