Managed Scanning

Skip Navigation LinksHome » Data Collection Services » Centralized Scanning » Managed Scanning

We can handle data collection projects of any size or type in either of our two facilities located on either coast. Each location has a large array of production-level scanners for a combined net-rated scanning capacity of more than 60,000 documents per hour. When work volume increases, we expand our scanning capacity by bringing additional equipment online.

To ensure accuracy, we employ both computerized validation routines and the sharp eyes of our data specialists, who supervise data processing at all levels, on every job, no matter how large or small. Our Verification Department then conducts a range of edit checks, data validation and database management functions. You can request special data entry "Table and Rules" for your documents, with fill validation, precise error checking features and output design based on your record format requirements.

Both of our data collection facilities use a range of OMR and image scanning equipment to handle the variety of data we process daily:

INTELLIGENT CHARACTER RECOGNITION

Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) technology is a method of capturing handwritten information from your forms, surveys or documents. When your documents are scanned, the software will read the ICR-readable fields within your template. Any character in an ICR field that's not recognized with 100% accuracy will be flagged for verification. The ICR "smart" process allows for easy organization, sorting, retrieval and analysis of your open-ended answers in handwritten fields.

OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION

By utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, your data is captured within seconds. With high accuracy, our data-capture software extracts information from paper, fax, email or web documents and translates the images into a form the computer system can interpret. OCR systems like ours can capture, interpret, verify and transfer information, from any source to any system, making document processing faster and easier.

OPTICAL MARK RECOGNITION

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) technology is a response-choice technology that is the most common, quickest, easiest and least expensive form of data collection we offer. OMR documents are used when multiple choice responses are requested. Our scanners will easily read these documents and can export the data in any format you choose. The accuracy level is extremely high, exceeding 99%. What's more, it requires very little human intervention, thereby reducing your costs.
