Back To All FAQs

Here’s a simplified overview of our microfiche scanning process:

  1. Collection and Transport: Our document transportation team securely retrieves your microfiche from your location and transports it to our processing facility. Each container is tagged and tracked throughout the process, ensuring full accountability and a clear chain of custody.
  2. Project Assessment: A scanning specialist reviews your project needs, examines a sample of your fiche, and determines image density and quantity per sheet to create a customized workflow.
  3. Equipment Calibration: We calibrate our equipment to optimize quality, using a sample of your fiche to ensure the best results.
  4. Batch Scanning: Microfiche sheets are scanned in batches, converting each image into a digital file.
  5. Quality Assurance: Each image undergoes a quality check for framing and clarity, with adjustments made as needed.
  6. OCR Processing (if requested): We apply OCR to extract and convert text into searchable metadata for easy access.
  7. Tagging and Metadata: Each digital image is tagged with key identifiers, such as name or ID, making files easily searchable by chosen data fields.
  8. Delivery: Your digital images can be loaded onto an encrypted USB drive or uploaded to a secure FTP repository for secure access.
