Document Imaging | OCR

We provide document image scanning from postcards to periodicals, books, scrapbooks, letters, photographs, posters, newsletters, flat art, and newspaper clippings. Allied Vaughn is equipped with a variety of optical scanners including book scanner, large-volume standard paper document scanner, mobile scanners, and large format flatbed scanner to suit a variety of document sizes, color, resolution, and formats.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology translates images of text within scanned documents into alphabetic and numeric text characters. OCR documents become readable readable and searchable digitally in a repository such as a DAM system or database. Allow Allied Vaughn to digitize your important content so you may get more useful life from your text-searchable digital records.
