Data Capture Our data capture services include keyboarding, scanning and OCR, and image processing.

Keyboarding Keyboarding, manually keying in the content of a hard-copy document, is the safest way to digitise fragile material and handwritten manuscripts. MPS also offers a double keying service for greater accuracy. Scanning and OCR As well as being equipped with the best high-speed scanning and optical character recognition (OCR) tools and systems available, our data capture team is also well trained in the various methods needed for capturing different types of hard-copy material, both text and images. Depending on the type, size and age of the paper, we employ the most suitable machine to meet your requirement. We are also equipped to clean the image files after scanning to create PDFs of the resolution you require.

Data Conversion MPS can take any type of print or electronic input and convert it into the format of your choice. We work with a vast range of content types and formats and can handle any type of conversion, including DTD to DTD, Web-based conversion and XML/SGML and HTML projects. As below we can also handle eBook conversion for all formats. MPS boasts a suite of well-honed tools that equip us for conversion projects that require a fast ramp up for high-volume inflows. We are also able to handle

any kind of multilingual data conversion. Archive and Legacy Conversion Unlock the value of your print or electronic archive material. Convert your archive content to a digital format that will ensure your archives are searchable, easily accessible, stable and secure – irrespective of how technology advances – and profitable. By converting your archives to XML in particular, we can help you create a durable digital repository in which you can store and retrieve all your content easily and quickly. XML also allows you to enrich your content with hyperlinks, references, bookmarks and so on. MPS uses a highly automated process to convert all of your hard-copy books, journals and magazines into soft-copy formats. Our team is also well practised in the painstaking methods needed to capture your most delicate and valuable archive material and return it to you undamaged. The four-stage process of extracting the text, converting it, and validating and coding it owes its accuracy and speed to proprietary tools which have been developed for each stage of the workflow. We also use sophisticated tools at the QC stage to ensure that no errors slip through. At the end of the process, we can deliver your files as PDFs, XML, HTML or SGML. Quality Audit Services In addition to our data conversion services, we can also validate material which has been converted elsewhere. Our team has the skills and experience to audit any content that has been converted or processed into XML or ePub files to check how well its integrity has been maintained. Using proprietary QC tools, we take your content through a thorough checking procedure and supply you with the error log.
