Data Capture & Data Entry Services

We process content at high volumes, at high rates of accuracy, enabling clients to obtain vastly improved economics.

Speed and accuracy are the two hallmarks of every successful data capture and data entry project. And for almost two decades, we've helped financial institutions, government agencies and Fortune 500 enterprises of every stripe fulfill both objectives on a wide range of projects.

Millions of Pages Weekly

While we export content in a full range of techniques and technologies, our preferred method for data capture is Optical Character Recognition (OCR), an automated process that creates digital machine-readable versions of hardcopy textual pages. Pages that exist only as hardcopy are imaged at an appropriate resolution then passed through our proprietary suite of OCR engines in a process that extracts all textual data. We work with a wide range of source materials, from such varied formats as hardcopy, microfilm, microfiche/aperture cards, TIFF, PDF, other digital images and slides/negatives.

Data Capture

Today, Innodata Isogen captures and processes millions of pages on any given week. With an expert staff and cutting-edge technologies, we process content at high volumes and at high rates of accuracy, enabling clients to obtain vastly improved economics.

For example, we helped a leading law firm find a better way to manage the ups and downs in its litigation processing requirements. We developed a custom workflow for capturing the data from various legal forms, ensuring that the firm's exacting standards for accuracy were met while also achieving fast turnarounds.

We use a powerful custom-designed system composed of a mix of leading commercial and proprietary tools, technologies and processes to produce the highest possible levels of textual accuracy. After files have passed through the voting engines, our OCR editors use proprietary editing software to edit the files and improve the captured text's accuracy up to required levels.

For financial services firms, processing customer forms and applications represents a critical point of capture for customer data. Obtain the information correctly, and the stage could be set for a long and profitable relationship. Commit just one minor error, however, and the likelihood that customers will do business with the firm again decreases dramatically. At the same time, financial services firms also need to process applications quickly, and efficiently, entering new customer information into the database as quickly as possible at the lowest possible cost...

Exceptional skill set, facilities and experience

Publishers, online retailers and museums rely on us for their large, complex digitization projects. We have what it takes to get the job done efficiently and cost-effectively and to meet quality specifications for both the Web and print.

To capture textual data from these kinds of materials, we use industry-standard word processing packages to manually encode required textual data. Typically, multiple versions of the documents are output by discrete and experienced encoders working independently.

They then undergo a software-based "merge and compare" process to ensure complete data integrity. Any discrepancies between the versions are automatically flagged for review against the hardcopy and subsequent correction by editorial staff. This editing process continues until the document is completely verified at the agreed-upon accuracy levels.

High Level of Accuracy and Speed

Innodata Isogen can deliver textual data guaranteed at accuracy levels of 99.995% or better (The International Organization for Standardization recognizes this as a maximum of 50 errors per million characters), and can meet the tightest turnaround times. In fact, nobody is better qualified to handle large-scale data entry projects.
