Turn Paper Documents into Searchable Digital Files

Simply scanning a document creates a digital image, but making information searchable can provide much greater value.

ProScan can help convert your paper records into digital files that are easier to organise, retrieve and share within your business. Optical character recognition (OCR) can be applied where appropriate, allowing text within scanned documents to be searched rather than relying solely on file names.

Depending on your requirements, documents can be supplied in a range of digital formats, including:

Searchable PDF
PDF/A for long-term digital archiving
TIFF
JPEG
Other agreed output formats to suit your systems and workflows

We can also discuss document indexing and file naming conventions to help ensure that your digitised records are structured logically and are easier to locate when needed.

The result is a more practical way to manage business information, reduce reliance on physical filing systems and support day-to-day operations.

The Document Scanning Process

Our document scanning services follow a proven process to ensure accurate and efficient digitisation:

Collection

ProScan Document Imaging (or its courier) will carefully pack your documents into archive boxes prior to their transportation to our secure Southampton premises. On arrival, we will book in each box giving it a unique identifying number.

Preparation

In accordance with the work schedule agreed, we’ll then prepare your documents using barcoding and patch code sheets if needed. At this point, our staff will also unfold sheets and remove staples to ensure the most accurate scanning of your documentation possible.

Scanning

Your documents are then digitised into images using the latest Kodak scanners. Documents are displayed on high definition screens and inspected in real time by our scanning operative for clarity and accuracy.

Quality Control

Upon completion of the scanning, a manager then checks that the scanning has been carried out successfully and to the specifications you required.

Document Indexing

With all files digitised and stored on our computer network, we then attach any related information to a document or batch of documents. If specified by our clients, documents then undergo the Optical Character Recognition process.

Secure Shredding

Following successful digitisation and indexing, your documents are then shredded and recycled for which we’ll provide you with a certificate of destruction (if required). Alternatively, we can return the documents to you or store them at our premises for a small monthly charge.
