Our Process
1) PTFS carefully removes clips, staples, document fasteners, and other bindings
2) Page breaks are identified and damaged content is repaired
3) The content is placed in the correct order in preparation for scanning
4) Scanners are configured for size (eg. CAD, microfilm)
5) Documents are scanned per project for optimal OCR (eg. bitonal, full color, gray scale)
6) Quality control; content is expanded to ensure optimal OCRing
7) 100+ index fields/metadata fields are determined
8) Add input to fields for enhanced content location
9) Rebind the content and return to client
