How Document Scanning Services Work
Document scanning is completed with capture software that creates a digital image of your documents. The files are then cleaned up and indexed to make a usable, organized library. Scanning can be an overwhelming project, so Record Nations Saanichton will take care of the following steps for you:
- We remove bindings to prepare documents for scanning.
- We scan both single and double-sided documents.
- We index by page or by entire document, whichever you choose.
- We offer Optical Character Recognition (OCR), making your documents editable.
- We put your converted files on the medium of your choice; including CDs, DVDs, or cloud storage.
- We can accommodate special requests, just give us the details when you request free quotes by calling (250) 381-0767 or filling out the form.
How to Count Your Documents
When requesting free quotes, we will ask for the number of documents you plan on scanning. Counting your documents can be done with the formula below. An exact number is not necessary, an estimate is all we need to move forward.
Count the number of banker’s boxes, files, or inches of paper you have. A standard banker’s box (12.5″W x 15.5″D x 10.5″H) can fit 2,000 to 2,500 sheets of paper. A larger file box (15″W x 24″D x 10.5″H) can hold 4,000 to 4,500 sheets of paper. On a shelf, you can typically fit 150 to 200 sheets of paper per inch. Multiply those numbers by the number of boxes, files, or inches.
For example, if you have 3 banker’s boxes full of paper, you will calculate: 3 boxes x 2500 sheets of paper = 7500 documents. Learn more about counting your documents here.
