Book Scan
(basic service) Your books will be disassembled by cutting back spine. They will be fed through the scanner and recorded in PDF format.
The front and back covers will be carefully dismounted from the books and scanned separately to PDF format.
If your order includes printed pages (unbound), please remove staples and then bundle your pages together into a folder. Printed pages are counted BEs in the same way as other materials.
We perform visual check of the scanned data and make sure all pages are scanned properly without missing pages and formatting errors.

(post-process) OCR
OOCR stands for Optical Character Recognition. The technical process performs a conversion of scanned images into character data and overlays the transparent character data onto the image file.
OCR Visualization sample on the left shows the overplayed text image (normally not visible).
Once the OCR data is added to the file, PDF file becomes searchable by word or phrase.
OCR + Word
The OCR PDF file is further converted into a Word file. This process will keep the original format of the book's page.
OCR + Crop + Word
The prior OCR PDF file retains headers and footers. The cropping process removes these areas of the page so that scanned text appears uninterrupted.

.mp3 format as Audio Book
The audio readers are state-of-the-art natural voices and are extremely accurate and understandable. Should the readers encounter an unfamiliar and difficult to pronounce word, say from a rare foreign language or a technical word, they will spell-out the word instead of guess at a pronunciation. Text containing many mathematical formulas cannot be read.
Audio file production is available in a male or female voice and in a wide variety of speeds. Customers may review sample mp3 files to decide the preferred speed.
