Many companies desire to make the information contained on old paper documents accessible through a simple computer search. The first step in making this possible is often hiring a document scanning service. Document scanning services can scan old documents and make digital back-ups of the paper documents. The scanning services can also use word-recognition software and letter-recognition software to put the information contained in the scanned documents onto searchable data bases. Libraries also hire document scanning services to scan manuscripts, documents and, in some cases, books. Newspapers sometimes hire scanning services to put old newspapers onto searchable data bases. Some scanning services specialize in scanning photographs and pictures.
