How eRecordsUSA’s Scanning Service Works?
Our Document Scanning Process
Digital Document Conversion
Our Digital Document Conversion Process streamlines the transition of physical documents into secure, accessible digital formats. We start by assessing each document type, from contracts to architectural blueprints, ensuring they meet industry standards. After scanning, each file undergoes quality checks aligned with HIPAA and GDPR compliance, enhancing both security and operational efficiency.
Document Scanning Requirements:
At this stage, we define your organization’s specific project requirements, which guide our tailored solution for converting your files into digital assets. As part of our service, we offer sample processing for your review and feedback.
Document Pick Up & Receipt:
Our secure vehicles and permanent employees handle all pickups—no third-party carriers involved. Documents arrive at our secure facility, are received in a monitored area, and checked for damage. Each box is logged and secured to ensure a safe and traceable process.
Document Inventory:
Upon receiving project files, we inventory and label each box, allowing quick retrieval if needed. This careful tracking minimizes disruption to your operations.
Document Preparation:
Before scanning, we prepare your files by removing staples, repairing pages, and ensuring optimal page orientation. Our team focuses on both general requirements and any specific needs, such as handling Post-It Notes or color images, to ensure the files are scan-ready while preserving document integrity.
Project Setup:
We customize technical requirements for each project, defining the specific processes and quality standards to follow during your document imaging project.
File Conversion:
Our scanning team converts physical files into digital formats like PDFs, focusing on image settings, file format, and page size. We monitor quality continuously, with a Scanning Services Quality Lead performing a full review to ensure that all imaging requirements are met.
Post-conversion Services:
Once converted, files are enhanced as needed and OCR-processed for searchable text, allowing word-level search and retrieval within the documents.
File Naming, Coding & Quality Review:
Files are named, indexed, and coded for easy search and retrieval. OCR enables secure word-level searches. We focus on accuracy in naming, coding, and validation.
Project Deliverable & Quality Assurance:
We store your digital files on a secure FTP or hosted solution and prepare a Project Status Report. Each stage of the conversion process is designed to ensure quality and consistency.
File Return or Certified Destruction:
Once you receive your digital files, we offer options to return, recycle, or securely destroy the original documents. We can initiate electronic file destruction to permanently delete files upon request.
Document Retrieval Services:
Throughout the project, a dedicated supervisor and customer service representative handle all file retrieval requests. We deliver files to authorized employees securely, either as password-protected PDFs or through encrypted file-sharing systems.

What Our Clients Say
Rated 5 Stars for Our Document and Book Scanning Services
Bill M.2024-02-21Pankaj Sharma and his E RECORDS USA team did an outstanding job transforming the analog version of my book The Guide's Guide Augmented from a graphic hodgepodge of disparate fonts and page designs into an elegant, beautiful, 115,000-word, nearly 600-page e-book and print-on-demand book. The excellent work of Pankaj and his team crew played a key role in helping The Guide's Guide Augmented become the number one best selling new release on Amazon in both the Rafting and Boating categories. Pankaj and his team are fast, professional, highly skilled, super conscientious and absolutely great! I recommend them most highly, and look forward to working with them more in the future.Esther L.2023-12-19Mr. Sharma is very professional and friendly. We had eRecords scan our books for archive purposes. The quality of their service is amazing. They are fast and timely. I am very glad that we used eRecords to scan our books and wouldn't hesitate to contact eRecords if we need digitizing/imaging service in the future.Eliana D.2023-12-12eRecords has provided an amazing high quality scanning work for our books. Mr. Sharma is very detail oriented and the results are just excellent!Nina P.2023-03-23I contacted eRecords for a small-scale scanning job. Although they usually work on large projects, Pankaj was more than willing to help with what I was looking for! The scans that came back were high quality, and delivered in a timely matter. eRecords was also the business that quoted me the most competitive price. I would definitely recommend - Pankaj is knowledgable and a great collaborator to work with on meeting any scanning service you may need.Rahul P.2023-03-01ERecords USA has provided Fast, Timely, and Amazing quality service for scanning my books and magazines. Ritika, Pankaj, and their Staff are very friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. They go above and beyond in their service. I give them A+++.Cameron V.2022-12-09I have used eRecordsUSA on three separate occasions and each job was performed exceptionally. All files scanned at high resolution, organized, and returned in a timely manner. Pricing was also very reasonable for such time-intensive work. Management was also very good with their communication. I am a digital nomad that owns zero paper, so having all of my files in Google Drive is imperative. With Google's OCR (Optical Coherence Recognition) I can now find my files at lightning speed. ie - I search for [deed], [roof repair], [assessment], etc. and all relevant files "automagically" appear.Stephen M.2021-11-02EXCELLENT quality work. VERY professional. I had some kids art work scanned high resolution that was too large for the scanners at copy shops. eRecordsUSA did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them.Beth S.2021-04-21ERecords USA provided a fast and accurate turnaround for a request to duplicate X-Rays. They ensured that copies were accurate prior to payment and went out of their way to produce within a short time.David L.2021-02-28Erecords scanned 56 bankers boxes of legal case files and other professional documents for me. This was a particularly difficult and complex job because, in naming files, they had to work from both a written file inventory and the file names on the folders themselves and use a consistent file naming protocol that Erecords and I agreed upon. They did an outstanding job of following this file naming protocol and organizing the documents in digital form to create the file structure that I intended. This job was also difficult because of the variety of page sizes and the age and condition of some of the documents; they managed to accurately capture everything. They also made the job easier for me by picking the documents up at my home. Pankaj at E records was invariably courteous and helpful and spent the time needed with me before the job to develop a digital file structure to make the documents most useful. I highly recommend Erecords for document scanning.David B.2020-10-29I chose eRecords to scan over 2000 pages of yearbooks and several hundred photos from the early 90's to early 00's. I was not disappointed. They were one of the few locations in the Bay Area that I contacted that let me drop off and pickup the material in person. The JPG and PDF scans that they sent me were extremely high quality and OCR'd the yearbooks so I can search for text. They were able to repair one of my yearbook's bindings to the point where I couldn't even find the repair! This place is professional and good value for what I received. If something ever happened to my irreplaceable yearbooks and photos I know they're digitized now and backed up to multiple locations on my network and cloud! Highly recommended, Pankaj and eRecords!

I find eRecords to be just what I was looking for. I own an old photo of building, and it seems as if this photo is the only one in existence. I needed it to be scanned very carefully and to have it shown in as much detail as possible. They did it. They gave me three different scans, returned the original back to me without any damage, and now I have copies of this photo that we can keep and use and share. I am so glad I used them. Thank you to all of you at eRecords.

Our company had about 50 books with high glossy pictures to be scanned and because they shine too much, so it's very difficult to scan to end up with good quality scans. eRecords with their excellent team made it happen and the scans were wonderful. Highly recommended. Five Stars!

I have a set of hard cover books that need to be digitalize and was happy to find out that they can do non-destructive scanning. The work is very professional and the price is reasonable, especially in the Bay Area. I am happy to find this local store that allows me to drop off and pick up my books that I cannot afford to lose. Thank you so much!

Document Scanning Costs in San Francisco, CA
Document Scanning Prices
Document Scanning, when done right, is an extremely detailed and a multi-step process, and also when not done right, could cost your business dearly and also possible legal troubles. You need to work with a vendor who has the experience to ensure every page is scanned and no pages were missed while scanning.
When asking for document scanning prices, it is very important to know, what the Digital Conversion Process entails. Does it include for Pick up, Pilot box (sample scans), Document Preparation, Scanning, 100% Quality Control Assurance ( image comparison with original), Indexing/ File Naming, Indexing QA, Quality Control for Indexing, OCR Full Text Searchable, Final QA, Image Delivery?
Cost to Scan Documents
To understand the pricing for document scanning services, one should prepare or figure out the following questions, these help in our understanding, and therefore providing an accurate estimate;
- The number of documents/ pages to be scanned.
- Are your documents single-sided/ or both sided.
- How much prep work is required.
- The size & type of documents/ papers to be scanned.
- Originals require Bitonal, Grayscale/ Color scans, scan resolution, etc
- Whether documents are to be shredded or returned after processing
- Desired digital file format e.g, PDF, JPEG or TIFF etc
- How are the documents stored, in boxes (size & kind), cabinets/drawers, (type)?
- What manpower, space, and financial resources can you budget for the project?
Document scanning pricing for any project may vary based on your requirements and the purpose of the scanning project. It also depends on the type of records that you have in hand to be digitized.
The first step is always to determine the volume of documents, that you estimate to have to scan, along with the requirements of the service, or any unique file naming and organization structure. Estimate the number of pages, as an initial step, because it is the best way to receive an accurate quote. Instead of counting individual pages, you can provide us information. Here is a link to assist you in some preliminary estimation. Check Here.
You also must keep in mind whether you need single-sided or double-sided scans. Double-sided pages add to the image volume thus, adding to the processing, review, conversion, and final cost. Also one has to consider the prep work needed to scan the records, as it takes quite it of time to prep the documents, removing staples, paper clips, taping torn documents, fixing or straightening corners, adding document separators.
We can price the project to include the following prep work:
- Removing documents from file folders.
- Removing staples, binding, clips, and other fasteners.
- Taping documents, which need repair, tears.
- Moving small post-it notes if covering content to the blank area, to capture all content.
- Adding separators between separate documents, to be identified & indexed.
- Removing binding, or cutting spine of bound originals.
The pricing of the project will vary based on the above factors. Larger projects, with multiple batches and bulk records, always entertain more aggressive pricing, per image or per box. We are happy to work with our customers to provide fixed boxed pricing or offer to the price per image. Pricing can be offered to include prep work, 100% Quality check, secure NAID shredding, pick up and return of the originals. Secure transfer of the scanned records is offered complimentary to all customers. Requesting scans in any physical media would add cost to the project for the additional cost f the media, and the whole invoice is then subject to sales tax as applicable for tangible deliverables.
At eRecordsUSA, we do not represent ourselves as being the cheapest scanning service available. We do, however, offer unparalleled quality and customer service, and would be pleased to provide you with a free, no-obligation quote. Simply call us at 510-900-8800, or use the Contact Us form and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
