cabinet without losing access to your documents,

great news for you. Digital transfer from traditional print media
has never been easier! We utilize the latest in optical character
recognition (OCR) document scanning technology, and
high-resolution imaging for importing of brochures, forms, photos,
and catalogs. Not only will you have access to all your printed
materials, but they can also be organized and searchable for your
convenience. Centrafest provides you with the most reliable
digitization options to simplify your workload.
The Document Digitization Services can transform original materials to
digital format for you. We convert books, photographs, journal
volumes, rare documents and artifacts into "digital objects." Our
digitization services are available to support a variety of
projects.

Digitization staff will work with you to determine the best type
of digital capture for a particular resource based on the nature
of the original material and its potential use. Each staff member
specializes in digitization methods appropriate to particular
types of materials.
We can return digital files to you for your own purposes or work
with you to determine what would be required to put them online
using one of our standard information retrieval methods.

We are experts in processing large
volumes of data required by major Corporate and Government
organizations.
Text Processing
The data maybe in the form of text books, journals, periodicals in
hardcopies or their images. The data is key punched into a
computer in a word processing software. Character level
verification is done of the keyed data. An ASCII file or formatted
document is generated as specified. Accuracy achieved upto
99.995%.
Database Creation
The data may be handwritten/typed/printed forms, directories in
hardcopies or as image. The data is key punched into a computer in
an inhouse software, in the client specified format. The key
punched data is verified. Verification is done on character level.
This is known as 'double keying process'. Program level checks of
the data are done with quality parameters as per specifications.
Accuracy upto 99.99% is achieved.
Scanning/OCR/OCR Cleanup
The data maybe in hardcopies or images. Scanning a document,
conversion to ASCII Text or Word doc through OCR. The data is
converted to text format either by manual key punching or
scanning/OCR as the case may be. The text file is converted to
html document after coding with standard html codes.
HTML/SGML Coding
The data is in the form of Scientific Journals, Books in
hardcopies or images. The data is key punched and verified
following the double entry process to generate an ASCII file. The
coded file is compiled to edit for errors. A final proof reading
is done. |
