Speed and accuracy are the two hallmarks of every successful data capture and data entry project. While we export content in a full range of techniques and technologies, our preferred method for data capture is Optical Character Recognition (OCR), an automated process that creates digital machine-readable versions of hardcopy textual pages. Pages that exist only as hardcopy are imaged at an appropriate resolution then passed through our proprietary suite of OCR engines in a process that extracts all textual data. We work with a wide range of source materials, from such varied formats as:

  • Hardcopy
  • Microfilm
  • Microfiche/Aperture Cards
  • TIFF/PDF/Other Digital Images
  • Slides/Negatives

Data Capture - We captures and processes millions of pages on any given week. With an expert staff and cutting-edge technologies, we process content at high volumes and at high rates of accuracy, enabling clients to obtain vastly improved economics.

Custom-designed system - We use a powerful custom-designed system composed of a mix of leading commercial and proprietary tools, technologies and processes to produce the highest possible levels of textual accuracy. After files have passed through the voting engines, our OCR editors use proprietary editing software to edit the files and improve the captured text's accuracy up to required levels.

Exceptional skill set - Publishers, online retailers and museums rely on us for their large, complex digitization projects. We have what it takes to get the job done efficiently and cost-effectively and to meet quality specifications for both the Web and print.

Word Processing - To capture textual data from these kinds of materials, we use industry-standard word processing packages to manually encode required textual data. Typically, multiple versions of the documents are output by discrete and experienced encoders working independently.

Merge and compare - The “merge and compare” process ensures complete data integrity. Any discrepancies between the versions are automatically flagged for review against the hardcopy and subsequent correction by editorial staff. This editing process continues until the document is completely verified at the agreed-upon accuracy levels.

High Level of Accuracy and Speed - AppGuru can deliver textual data guaranteed at accuracy levels of 99.995% or better (This translates to a maximum of 50 errors per million characters), and can meet the tightest turnaround times.

Custom workflow - We can develop a custom workflow to capture the data from various legal and other input forms, ensuring that the firm’s exacting standards for accuracy were met while also achieving fast turnarounds.
