Document Scanning & Digitization FAQs

1. How should we prepare documents for bulk scanning?

Remove staples, paper clips, and binders, then sort files by department or record type into clearly labeled boxes. Good prep speeds up processing and improves indexing accuracy.

2. Is OCR included in your service?

Yes. Every scan receives high-accuracy OCR, so your PDFs (or other formats) are fully text-searchable without extra fees.

3. Can you safely scan fragile or deteriorating items?

Absolutely. We use cradle, overhead, and flatbed scanners that apply no roller pressure, preserving brittle pages and historical artifacts.

4. How are the digital files delivered and organized?

You’ll receive encrypted links—Google Drive, Dropbox, SFTP, or private cloud—arranged in a folder structure and file-naming schema you approve in advance.

5. Which organizations benefit most from bulk digitization?

Healthcare networks, law firms, government agencies, schools, and finance teams gain the biggest ROI, especially when compliance audits or legacy backlogs are driving the project.

6. What’s the turnaround time for high-volume projects?

Most medium-sized jobs finish within 7–14 business days. Large or complex collections take longer, but we offer rush options when deadlines are tight.

7. Can mixed media be handled in one project?

Yes. Documents, photos, large-format plans, microfilm—everything can be digitized, indexed, and delivered as a single, cohesive collection.

I turned to eRecord USA - Document Scanning & Photos Digitizing Services for help converting a low‑quality microfilm of 18th‑century Polish census records into a digital format suitable for historical research. The technical demands of the project were considerable, yet eRecord devoted extraordinary time and care to the transfer. My use of AI enhancement significantly improved the legibility of the images, making the scans genuinely useful for scholarly work. Pankaj's professionalism stood out: he kept me informed at every stage, explained the challenges clearly, and ensured the final product met the highest standard possible. I recommend eRecordsUSA - Document Scanning & Photos Digitizing Services without reservation.

I am a member of the Archives Group for the San Jose Buddhist Church Betsuin. One role of the Archives Group is to preserve our historical physical photos and documents. However, recent fires at the Lahaina and Seattle Buddhist Temples have created urgency for us to digitize our archives for storage in the Cloud for safekeeping. In the SJBCB Archives Room, we have many large-format, panoramic photos. The size of the largest photo is 54x8 inches, and many are longer than 40 inches. The oldest photo with a confirmed date was taken in 1925, and we have one photo we suspect is from 1911. We do not have a way to scan and digitize these large photos in our Archives Room. After searching for ways to scan and digitize our panoramic photos, I was fortunate to find eRecordsUSA. Mr. Sharma was very patient while listening to me describe our situation and requirements, and my asking about his equipment, procedures, and details about file formats and resolutions. Mr. Sharma agreed to provide sample scans for a few of our photos and let us review the results before we decided to proceed. The sample scans were amazing and we delivered 121 photos to eRecordsUSA for scanning and digitization. The staff at eRecordsUSA were very careful handling our fragile photos. They followed our requirements for file format and resolution, and for naming the files. The results exceeded my expectations and the pricing was reasonable. I happily recommend eRecordsUSA and will use their services in the future. Keith K.

Second time review. I'm very happy with the quality of their service. They completed the job quickly and did an excellent job with the scanning. They also have specialized equipment that can handle large, delicate, and unusual documents that many other scanning services are not equipped to handle. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for professional, high-quality document scanning.

I was gifted an old book that my grandfather wrote in Afghanistan. The book was in decent condition, but because it was written in Farsi, I wasn't able to read it properly. Then I had an idea: with the help of AI, I could have it translated and finally read my grandfather's work. This is where eRecordsUSA came in. They took on this project despite its many challenges and scanned the book with excellent quality. Now, I can preserve and share this treasure with the rest of my family. Our family is incredibly thankful for all the hard work eRecordsUSA put into this project. I couldn't be happier with the final result.

I have a precious hardbound book that my mother made for me with our family history documented in it. I had been looking for someone who could digitize it. Because of the irreplaceable nature of the book, it was critical that I could trust the service to handle my book with care, both in the shipping to and from and the digitizing process. I found eRecordsUSA through a ChatGPT search. They had outstanding reviews on all fronts. They lived up to those reviews. The inquiry process was easy, clear, quick and responsive through their online contact process, and I did have one call with a representative. Their pricing was fair. The digitizing process of my book, which was several hundred pages, was very quick, being done the same week in which they received it. Turnaround shipping was also quick and reliable, just as promised. And the book came back in pristine condition. Communication was excellent throughout. When they quoted me a price, had to estimate the number of pages because the pages are not numbered. Turns out that there were more than double my estimate. However, eRecordsUSA honored the quoted price. Integrity.... So, I highly recommend eRecordsUSA if you are in the market for digitizing services. They fully met and in some ways exceeded my high expectations.

I couldn't trust just any business to care for and digitize my Dad’s 200+ page handwritten journal, which is a one-of-a-kind family heirloom. After doing some preliminary research, I chose eRecordsUSA, and I am delighted with the quality of the finished pdf and accompanying image files. After speaking with Mr. Sharma and personally meeting with him to drop off the journal, it was crystal clear that he is an expert at this and really cared about preserving my Dad’s book. This business is very professional, highly responsive and trustworthy, and I would definitely drive to Fremont again (it’s a 45 minute drive one way) if I need their services. TIP: Be sure to call or email them to make an appointment because this isn’t a store where you can just drop in.

In 1970-71 my then wife and I traveled to many different countries, taking a year and a quarter to circle the globe. Our parents kept all of our letters and postcards for us -- almost 200 items including flimsy aerogramme stationery with tiny handwriting. As a stack of papers, it would never be read by my children and grandchildren. As a scanned and digitized collection, it became a precious family treasure. It’s also priceless data that I can use with Claude AI to create keepsake documents for the family. Thank goodness I found eRecordsUSA -- the people who made it possible! The scans are perfect. The transcriptions are excellent. My originals were perfectly kept. Working with Pankaj and his team was a pleasure. I recommend eRecordsUSA highly as folks you can trust to do a great job with your precious memorabilia.
