iArchives uses state-of-the-art scanning equipment to produce searchable, high resolution images in TIFF, PDF, or other file type which you can save for future reference. You can also use a third party to scan images based on iArchives’ specifications, transfer them to iArchives via common media formats such as ftp, cd, or tape where we will process them for you.

We use iArchives’ highly accurate and patented OCR software which consistently produces higher accuracy results when compared to the “off the shelf” OCR engines. Then we index the text, digitize the images using highly sophisticated software (providing image enhancement among a host of other elements), attach any needed metadata and store the records in a database of your choice. The records are then accessed utilizing a search engine of your preference.

You can store the files wherever you like, on your own site, on our site, or on a remote third party host. We support most databases and search engines.

Users can search archived documents with either a simple search, using keywords or an advanced search using headlines, bylines, pages, truncated words, and other user defined customized fields. iArchives displays retrieved documents in their original format so users are sure to get the information they need in its original context. The user interface is completely customized to your specifications and needs.
