Digital Imaging

Digital imaging services are available to UCI employees to assist with transforming paper-based documents into electronic files.  Our optical character recognition (OCR) technology recognizes typed, handwritten, or printed text on the scanned files and converts them into editable, searchable, digital documents. Whether you need to save important paperwork or want to access boxes of physical documents from any mobile device, Document Management’s imaging services were designed to comply with HIPAA regulations and maintain a high degree of quality and accuracy throughout the scanning and transfer process.
