Our Document Scanning Process

Digital Document Conversion Process

Embark on a journey of efficiency with our Digital Document Conversion Process, designed to seamlessly transition your physical documents into secure, accessible digital formats.

Our process begins with a meticulous assessment of your documents, ranging from business contracts to architectural blueprints, tailored to meet diverse industry standards. Once scanned, each file undergoes rigorous quality checks, aligning with HIPAA and GDPR compliance for utmost data security.  This end-to-end digital transformation is not only a step towards a paperless future but also a strategic move to enhance your operational efficiency in San Francisco’s fast-paced business environment.

Document Scanning Requirements:

In this stage, your organization’s project requirements are defined. These requirements become the basis of the tailored solution we will develop to convert your files into Digital Assets.  In addition, as a courtesy service, we schedule a time to process a set of sample documents for your review and feedback.

Document Pick Up & Receipts:

All pickups are made in secure locked, business vehicles and always by permanent employees; we never utilize any other third-party shipping company. On arriving at the facility, all boxes are received, in a secure and dry receiving area, and handled at all times by authorized representative. Boxes are accounted for, checked for any damage during the transit, and it is ensured that every box is completely secure.

Documents Received:

In this stage, we receive the project files and perform an inventory process to log and label these materials/ boxes.  These processes allow us to quickly retrieve any materials you may need while your files are in our care.  Our goal is to serve your information access needs, minimizing the impact of this project on your ongoing operation/business.

Document Preparation:

In this stage, your files are prepared for scanning.  The document preparation processes we utilize ensure that the natural order of each file is maintained and that the files are prepared to enable the best possible scanning results.  The document preparation team focuses on general project requirements (such as removal of staples, paper clips, binding removal, and document repair & page orientation), as well as repair any damaged areas, and specific project requirements (such as special handling of Post-It Notes, color images, and media). All this is done to ensure the document is scanner ready. This task is the most vital part of the whole process, and our staff works carefully to maintain the integrity of the documents throughout the preparation process.

Project Set-up:

In this stage, we tailor the Project Set-up technical requirements based on the specific requirements.  These requirements define the tailored processes and quality procedures we utilize to conduct each stage of your organization’s imaging project.

File Conversion:

In this stage, your files are scanned where we convert  a digital manuscript, physical book, or hard copy into a digital book / PDF The scanning team focuses on general project requirements (such as image settings, file format, page size, and paper thickness), and specific project requirements (such as special processing of odd-size pages, color images, and double-sided pages). The Scanning Services Quality Lead performs a 100 % review of the scanned files, to ensure that all imaging requirements are met. During the scanning process, the primary concern of the scanning operators is to ensure and maintain the integrity of the documents. While scanning, we always ensure there is an operator on each scanner, all the time, to quickly be able to make adjustments when needed.

Post-conversion Services:

In this stage, the files are converted into the required file format and processed utilizing the required image enhancement.  If defined as a project requirement, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is performed to enable word-level search and retrieval.  In this task, each letter in an image is processed.

File Naming, Coding & Quality Review:

In this stage, the files are named, indexed and coded to enable search and retrieval and, if OCR was performed, a secure word-level search within and across the digital files.  To achieve the highest quality coding results, we focus on naming and coding accuracy and validation.

Project Deliverable & Quality Review:

In this stage, your organization’s digital files are stored on a secure FTP or hosted solution and a Project Status Report is prepared.  We pride ourselves on our ability to provide the best possible deliverable in the time required and have designed each stage in the conversion process with a focus on quality.  As detailed in the description of the stages above, we take every measure to ensure consistency and quality.

Deliverable Sent / Files Returned or Recycled:

In this stage, your digital documents are shipped and the files Returned, Recycled or Certified Destroyed as per your requirements.  Once you receive and review the digital files, upon request we initiate our electronic file destruction procedures, which permanently delete your files from our systems.

Document Retrieval Services:

To ensure that the documents and file are always assessable to our customers through, out the image conversion project, we dedicate an operation supervisor and a customer service representative, for any file/ document retrieval request that is made during regular business hours (8.00 am to 5.00 pm Monday through Friday). Requests will be delivered to authorized employees via secure password-protected PDF files or through secure encrypted file sharing systems only.

Pankaj Sharma and his E RECORDS USA team did an outstanding job transforming the analog version of my book The Guide's Guide Augmented from a graphic hodgepodge of disparate fonts and page designs into an elegant, beautiful, 115,000-word, nearly 600-page e-book and print-on-demand book. The excellent work of Pankaj and his team crew played a key role in helping The Guide's Guide Augmented become the number one best selling new release on Amazon in both the Rafting and Boating categories. Pankaj and his team are fast, professional, highly skilled, super conscientious and absolutely great! I recommend them most highly, and look forward to working with them more in the future.

I contacted eRecords for a small-scale scanning job. Although they usually work on large projects, Pankaj was more than willing to help with what I was looking for! The scans that came back were high quality, and delivered in a timely matter. eRecords was also the business that quoted me the most competitive price. I would definitely recommend - Pankaj is knowledgable and a great collaborator to work with on meeting any scanning service you may need.

I have used eRecordsUSA on three separate occasions and each job was performed exceptionally. All files scanned at high resolution, organized, and returned in a timely manner. Pricing was also very reasonable for such time-intensive work. Management was also very good with their communication. I am a digital nomad that owns zero paper, so having all of my files in Google Drive is imperative. With Google's OCR (Optical Coherence Recognition) I can now find my files at lightning speed. ie - I search for [deed], [roof repair], [assessment], etc. and all relevant files "automagically" appear.

Erecords scanned 56 bankers boxes of legal case files and other professional documents for me. This was a particularly difficult and complex job because, in naming files, they had to work from both a written file inventory and the file names on the folders themselves and use a consistent file naming protocol that Erecords and I agreed upon. They did an outstanding job of following this file naming protocol and organizing the documents in digital form to create the file structure that I intended. This job was also difficult because of the variety of page sizes and the age and condition of some of the documents; they managed to accurately capture everything. They also made the job easier for me by picking the documents up at my home. Pankaj at E records was invariably courteous and helpful and spent the time needed with me before the job to develop a digital file structure to make the documents most useful. I highly recommend Erecords for document scanning.

I chose eRecords to scan over 2000 pages of yearbooks and several hundred photos from the early 90's to early 00's. I was not disappointed. They were one of the few locations in the Bay Area that I contacted that let me drop off and pickup the material in person. The JPG and PDF scans that they sent me were extremely high quality and OCR'd the yearbooks so I can search for text. They were able to repair one of my yearbook's bindings to the point where I couldn't even find the repair! This place is professional and good value for what I received. If something ever happened to my irreplaceable yearbooks and photos I know they're digitized now and backed up to multiple locations on my network and cloud! Highly recommended, Pankaj and eRecords!

Cost Of Document Scanning in San Francisco CA

Document Scanning Prices

Document Scanning, when done right, is an extremely detailed and a multi-step process, and also when not done right, could cost your business dearly and also possible legal troubles. You need to work with a vendor who has the experience to ensure every page is scanned and no pages were missed while scanning.

When asking for document scanning prices, it is very important to know, what the Digital Conversion Process entails. Does it include for Pick up, Pilot box (sample scans), Document Preparation, Scanning, 100% Quality Control Assurance ( image comparison with original), Indexing/ File Naming, Indexing QA, Quality Control for Indexing, OCR Full Text Searchable, Final QA, Image Delivery?

Cost to Scan Documents

To understand the pricing for document scanning services, one should prepare or figure out the following questions, these help in our understanding, and therefore providing an accurate estimate;

  • The number of documents/ pages to be scanned.
  • Are your documents single-sided/ or both sided.
  • How much prep work is required.
  • The size & type of documents/ papers to be scanned.
  • Originals require Bitonal, Grayscale/ Color  scans, scan resolution, etc
  • Whether documents are to be shredded or returned after processing
  • Desired digital file format e.g, PDF, JPEG or TIFF etc
  • How are the documents stored, in boxes (size & kind), cabinets/drawers, (type)?
  • What manpower, space, and financial resources can you budget for the project?

Document scanning pricing for any project may vary based on your requirements and the purpose of the scanning project. It also depends on the type of records that you have in hand to be digitized.

The first step is always to determine the volume of documents, that you estimate to have to scan, along with the requirements of the service, or any unique file naming and organization structure. Estimate the number of pages, as an initial step, because it is the best way to receive an accurate quote. Instead of counting individual pages, you can provide us information. Here is a link to assist you in some preliminary estimation. Check Here.

You also must keep in mind whether you need single-sided or double-sided scans. Double-sided pages add to the image volume thus, adding to the processing, review, conversion, and final cost.  Also one has to consider the prep work needed to scan the records, as it takes quite it of time to prep the documents, removing staples, paper clips, taping torn documents, fixing or straightening corners, adding document separators.

We can price the project to include the following prep work:

  • Removing documents from file folders.
  • Removing staples, binding, clips, and other fasteners.
  • Taping documents, which need repair, tears.
  • Moving small post-it notes if covering content to the blank area, to capture all content.
  • Adding separators between separate documents, to be identified & indexed.
  • Removing binding, or cutting spine of bound originals.

The pricing of the project will vary based on the above factors. Larger projects, with multiple batches and bulk records, always entertain more aggressive pricing, per image or per box. We are happy to work with our customers to provide fixed boxed pricing or offer to the price per image. Pricing can be offered to include prep work, 100% Quality check, secure NAID shredding, pick up and return of the originals. Secure transfer of the scanned records is offered complimentary to all customers. Requesting scans in any physical media would add cost to the project for the additional cost f the media, and the whole invoice is then subject to sales tax as applicable for tangible deliverables.

At eRecordsUSA, we do not represent ourselves as being the cheapest scanning service available. We do, however, offer unparalleled quality and customer service, and would be pleased to provide you with a free, no-obligation quote. Simply call us at 510-900-8800, or use the Contact Us form and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
