What’s the safest way to scan rare books or fragile bound materials?

We use cradle scanners and glass-free imaging systems that support the spine and prevent pressure damage, ideal for historic manuscripts and archival-bound books.

Can you digitize documents stored in outdated or mixed formats?

Yes, we specialize in converting legacy formats—including microfilm, aperture cards, and bound ledgers—into modern digital files like searchable PDFs and TIFFs.

Do you support batch indexing by case ID, invoice number, or patient file?

Absolutely. We offer automated metadata tagging, enabling batch indexing by fields like document type, file number, or department code.

What document types require special handling or preparation before scanning?

Blueprints, stapled case folders, onion skin paper, and carbon copies often need flattening, de-binding, or humidity-controlled preparation to ensure clean scans and page alignment.

Can scanned documents be uploaded directly to my cloud platform?

Yes. We support secure delivery to Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, and private SFTP servers for seamless integration into your workflows.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.

 Verified I highly recommend E Records USA.  They have done several scanning jobs for me. Their scanning is accurate and reasonably priced.  They are a pleasure to do business with.  My last scanning job, some family archives, included old news clips and scrapbooks that were difficult to scan and they did a great job of accurately capturing the information from very old paper and photos in their scans.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

The resolution was wonderful for small contacts sheets and the whole experience was worthwhile.  I would recommend them and use them again.
