How Document Scanning Services Work

Our scanning experts will quickly and accurately capture your documents to create digital files. Once captured, your documents will go through some or all of these steps: document imaging, forms processing, image cleanup, quality control, and recognition. They will also be indexed for organization and keyword searching.

Record Nations makes it easy to convert your documents and takes care of the following steps for your convenience:

  • We remove bindings to prepare documents for scanning.
  • We determine between single and double-sided documents and scan as necessary.
  • We can index by page or by entire document, whichever is easier for you.
  • We offer Optical Character Recognition (OCR) so that documents can be modified later.
  • 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 (512) 201-4387 or filling out the form.

How to Count Your Documents

In the preparation process, we will ask how many documents you plan to scan. Counting your documents is easy with the formula below. We do not need an exact count; an estimate is enough to move forward.

Count the number of banker’s boxes, files, or inches of paper you have on a shelf. 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.
