Document Imaging
Great Plains scanning processes can turn your paper documents into PDF, JPEG or TIFF format for convenient storage on a CD or download. We can enhance the usefulness of your documents by making them searchable using OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
We can scan your paper exhibits and turn them into virtually any digital format, making handling, sharing and storing easier and more efficient.
Back File Conversions
We can image every type of document you currently have in storage. We can scan, index, and output paper documents as image files which we then store on CDs or DVDs. We assign fields of indexing for easy search and retrieval. You can upload these files onto your server or access them directly on the CD or DVD. We are also able to integrate these images with any existing Document Image Management software you may currently be utilizing.
Day Forward Scanning
From your starting day forward, we can scan all your documents that you generate on a regular basis-weekly, monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly. You don’t have to worry about scanning documents yourself-managing the staff, equipment and software.
OCR Services
OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is the process of converting imaged characters into ‘readable’ characters that are immediately available to manipulate as text for searching and editing.
Great Plains provides 2 types of OCR solutions with scanned images:
- Conversion to Adobe Acrobat’s PDF files that are OCR’d for searching capabilities. To search these documents, your computer must use Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 or greater, accessible for free over the internet at www.adobe.com. This also keeps your documents secure and unmodifiable.
- Using our sophisticated OCR conversion software, we are able to convert text on images to ASCII text files which can then be imported easily into other applications such as Word Processing. The algorithms used in this process are state-of-the-art guaranteeing you the highest quality output available in the industry today.
