Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
Manual Data Entry
Optical Character Recognition
We utilize a number of different OCR conversion packages, each of which has its own strengths for certain types of documents. We don't just scan paper documents, but we also convert materials that have been stored in microfilm and microfiche.
microMEDIA tailors data capture to the specific requirements of a project. We carefully analyze client needs and intensively test alternatives before recommending the conversion process.
One of the most accurate conversion techniques utilizes the Xerox 620S Scanner because it uses Intelligent Imaging Technology (I2T) developed at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC).
Onsite document scanning is available for very sensitive or valuable documents. Entire documents or selected portions of a document are converted
into digital form and returned to clients for use in their
document management systems or hosted on microMEDIA's secure
website.
Extremely accurate OCR / ICR conversion is done by meticulous correction procedures and cleanup of OCR output by trained technicians. Output types include word processor format, spreadsheets, ASCII files and most database types.
Manual Data Entry
It is not always possible to automatically convert documents to digital form. Handwritten and poor quality documents are often more cost effectively done by manual key entry and verification.
Our capabilities include low-cost high-capacity offshore services to key directly from scanned images or from microfilm and microfiche. Keyed data is always linked to database extracts if a database exists.
microMEDIA has been a leading key entry marketplace for more than twenty-five years. Our infrastructure includes facilities in the Caribbean, Mexico, Venezuela and India. We insist on 100% key verification, which results in 99.95% accuracy of legible characters. Further, all work done by associates is
validated for quality by microMEDIA's Quality Control Department prior to delivery to our customers.
