Data Entry and Text Search

High-Accuracy OCR Data Entry Services in BC

Transform your static images and scanned papers into dynamic, fully searchable digital assets. Coastal Document Solutions provides secure, automated OCR data entry services designed to stream business-critical text into your existing corporate databases and file management systems across Vancouver, Whistler, and British Columbia.

A document scanning service only creates a digital picture of the text. By implementing our cutting-edge Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, we extract text from physical pages and convert it into fully editable formats.

Our sophisticated automated workflows allow your team to instantly search inside multi-page documents, run keyword queries across your entire archive, and eliminate hours of manual file typing.

Automated Document Capture & Text Extraction

At Coastal Document Solutions, we combine state-of-the-art intelligent data capture software with rigorous human verification to deliver unparalleled data accuracy. Our workflows are fully optimized to handle a diverse range of complex data challenges:

Zonal OCR Data Capture: Automating the extraction of specific data fields—such as invoice numbers, dollar amounts, and order dates—from highly structured forms.
Searchable PDF Conversion: Transforming massive backlogs of corporate records, books, and compliance files into standard PDFs where every single line of text can be indexed by your operating system.
Metadata Tagging & Indexing: Organizing your newly digitized files by client name, project number, or custom classification fields, preparing them for smooth bulk uploads into your cloud databases.

Why Outsource Your OCR and Data Indexing Workflow?

Attempting to run file conversions internally often leads to formatting errors, missed text, and massive bottlenecks for your core staff. Our professional laboratory services provide:

Production-Grade Software Engines: We deploy industrial-strength Kodak Alaris capture systems capable of reading diverse fonts, and complex multi-column layouts.
Seamless ERP & DMS Integration: We don’t just extract text; we format the final data outputs (such as CSV, XML, or searchable PDFs) to map perfectly into your specific systems like Microsoft Dynamics Navision, SharePoint, or custom legal and medical case management networks.
Strict Data Confidentiality: Operating under a secure, access-controlled framework, your business documents and extracted proprietary information remain completely protected throughout the entire data pipeline.
