What are the steps entailed in converting files to digital format?

• Collection, Preparation and Sorting: During this step, Recall prepares documents for scanning by removing staples, paper clips, tape, etc., and then batches the documents by type, organises them with batch separator sheets, and assigns bar codes.
• Scanning and Conversion: Recall’s high-speed scanners read and convert physical documents into the digital format that best meets your company’s needs.
• Data Capturing and Processing: Recall’s sophisticated Optical Character Recognition, (OCR), and Integer Character Recognition, (ICR), software applications are used to capture specific data, (regardless of where it is contained within the document), for the purpose of indexing, tracking, and rapid recovery.
• Quality Assurance/Verification: While Recall’s Indexing function achieves, on average, a 90-percent accuracy rate, we also verify all images and indexed fields via automated processes and designated Recall staff.
• Digital Archiving: Images and Metadata are loaded into Recall’s ReView® software application which provides instantaneous, user-authorised access to digitised documents from a desktop via the Internet.
