99.999% accuracy means that no more than one error per 100,000 characters is allowed. An error would include inclusion or omission of a space, inclusion or omission of a character or a comma shown as a full stop etc. This is true for text as well as equations. A five character word omitted by the keyboard process counts as five errors.

Typesetting 

We perform a full range of Pre Press services including copy editing and typesetting for Scholarly, Scientific, technical and medial books & journals.

We perform typesetting in Quark, 3B2, FrameMaker and in TeX, LaTeX. 

TeX is a typesetting system "intended for the creation of beautiful books - and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics''.

TeX is a macro processor, and offers its user a powerful programming capability . When people say they are ``programming in TeX'', they usually mean they're programming in plain TeX.

LaTeX is a TeX macro package that provides a document processing system. LaTeX allows markup to describe the structure of a document, so that the user need not think about presentation. By using document classes and add-on packages, the same document can be produced in a variety of different layouts.

Yellow and White page conversion

Shritech performs Yellow, White pages, and other directory conversion services  in many languages. We key in Yellow and white page listings from printed directories either by selected fields or the full directory. Output is 99.99% accurate and can be converted to databases such as MS Access etc.

In addition to Names, Addresses, telephone numbers and classification headings, Universal Directory Advertising Codes (UDAC) and values and other information can be captured to generate a valuable marketing tool.

Forms Processing

Many types of Handwritten forms do not easily lend themselves to automatic capture using ICR/OCR tools. Shritech processes such forms using ImageXP, our own forms processing software.  

Data capture is from images or paper forms. We use a double key process to ensure high accuracy output.  We realize that your data is useless if incorrect and we take pains to ensure that our forms processed data is of a high level of accuracy. We create validation tools based on a set of rules - Postal code and address validation, for example.

Customers reduce cost, are allowed to focus on their core business and grow without adding expensive manpower and resources. Shritech is the most cost-effective and efficient outsourcing option when you deal with forms data capture.

If you are able to scan and upload the images to a secure FTP server, we can usually download process and return the database to you in 24 hours.

Shritech offers these services:

  • Form Design
  • Document Preparation
  • Forms Scanning
  • Automatic Forms Data Capture
  • Manual Forms Data Capture
  • Document Warehouse
  • Document Retrieval

DjVu conversion

DjVu (pronounced "déjà vu") is a new image compression technology allows the distribution on the Internet of very high resolution images of scanned documents, digital documents, and photographs.

With DjVu we typically can achieve compression ratios about 5 to 10 times better than existing methods such as JPEG and GIF for color documents, and 3 to 8 times than TIFF for black and white documents. Scanned pages at 300 DPI in full color can be compressed down to 30 to 100KB files from 25MB. Black-and-white pages at 300 DPI typically occupy 5 to 30KB when compressed.
