Document Digitization/Conversion Service
CSI offers document conversion services in both the e2e (Electronic-To-Electronic) and the p2e (Paper-To-Electronic) domains. Digitization of paper documents (p2e) involves scanning content as images, following which sophisticated OCR techniques using generic as well as custom made in-house tools extract and reformat electronic text.
