Book Scanning

DCS have specialised scanners to delicately handle the scanning of even the most fragile book and documents without any contact to the original pages.

These books and documents can be scanned in bi-tonal, grayscale or even full colour. Once scanned images can be converted into PDF, HTML or other formats making them instantly accessible on the web.

Other applications for book scanning include deeds and other bound legal documents, lab notebooks and minute books.

Book Scanners

Book Scanning is now possible without removing the pages from the bindings or harming them in any way.

This is made possible by using a special book scanner: a dedicated piece of equipment from which captures the images and allows the software to straighten out the curvature of the text.

The geometrical correction used in book scanning also makes it possible to correct the effect of crushing of the characters and to preserve original distances.

curverature correction

This correction of the crushing of the characters is carried out thanks to an exclusive process making it possible to reconstitute the three-dimensional shape of the book.

book scanning

Once the pages of a book are scanned, we can "tidy up" the images, apply borders etc., to give a clean legible page which can then have Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applied to enable full text searching in PDF, HTML,XML or other format.

The scanned images can be fully indexed to your requirements, and supplied within Alchemy Search and Retrieval Software or Adobe Acrobat. The resulting CD's can be viewed on any PC, or over a network, or via the internet if required.

The greatest care is taken with all material supplied to us, during transportation, which we will arrange, and in all handling of the books or documents. Should the original material be in poor condition and require re-binding or restoration or conservation, we can arrange to have this work carried out for you.

DCS have completed many book scanning projects including lab notebooks, deed documents and fragile bound library archives.
