Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Proofing Services

OCR is the process that makes a document searchable, but poor OCR leaves you with less searchability than expected. When we digitize paper documents, we always include text-verification by one of our staff to make sure your documents are as accurate as the software can make it.

Unfortunately, text-verification through OCR software can only go so far, and incorrect words might not get flagged for review. To ensure top quality searchable PDFs, our trained proofreaders also perform word-for-word comparisons when a collection calls for utmost accuracy.

A Word from
Our Clients

It looks fantastic! I am so impressed and happy with you and the team’s passion and thoroughness of how you approached and executed this project. My family is deeply touched and appreciative.

I enthusiastically recommend that people [who] have documents, photographs, or anything else that needs to be organized get in touch with you and see what you can do for them.

As it was digitized, I was actually able to find the exact page that [our patron's] aunt was on, and I was able to print and send that page to them because it was digitized. They were out of state, so she was so grateful. Because the image was so clear I was able to print them out a blank one and then I also printed out one where I was able to highlight where she was in the page.

Thank you again for your support and patience. . . . I don't imagine that I'll ever have a document scanning project like this again but if I do, I'll definitely call you and Anderson Archival first.
