What I Do

I focus on simple, secure, and accurate conversion of your paper records into digital files. Typical projects include:

  • Converting boxes or file drawers of documents into PDF files
  • Making files searchable (using OCR) so you can search by names, dates, and keywords
  • Organizing digital folders so your documents are grouped in a way that makes sense for you

All work is done by appointment in a dedicated, secure home office, not in a high-traffic retail space.

Step-by-Step Proyes, and I saved itcess

Step 1 – Free Consultation

You contact Streamline Scanning LLC by email at info@streamlinescanning.com. You briefly describe your project.

Step 2 – Drop-off or Pickup

You can choose the option that works best for you:

  • Drop-off by appointment: You bring your documents to my home office in Detroit at a scheduled time.
  • Pickup service (when available): For larger jobs within the local area, I can arrange secure pickup using my vehicle. Every box or container is labeled and logged so we both know exactly what was received.

Step 3 – Secure Intake and Storage

Your documents go directly into a designated, locked storage area in my home office. Your project is kept secure.

Step 4 – Document Preparation

Before scanning, I carefully prepare your pages to protect documents and improve image quality:

  • Remove staples, clips, and bindings where possible
  • Straighten and group pages so they feed correctly
  • Separate special items (photos, very small receipts, or fragile pages) for special handling
  • If I encounter anything unusual that might affect the result, I pause and check with you before proceeding

Step 5 – Scanning

Your documents are scanned using professional-grade equipment:

  • Typical resolution: 300 dpi (higher if requested)
  • Color, grayscale, or black-and-white to match your needs
  • Single-sided or double-sided scanning, depending on the original documents
  • The scanning is monitored so pages stay in order and any feed issues are fixed immediately

Step 6 – OCR and File Creation

Once pages are scanned:

  • Images are converted into PDF files
  • OCR (optical character recognition) is applied when appropriate, so your PDFs are text-searchable
  • Files are named according to our agreement, for example: Client-Name-2023-Invoices.pdf, Medical-Records.pdf
  • If you prefer a different file type, such as TIFF or JPEG, we can discuss that during the consultation

Step 7 – Quality Check

Before delivery, I review your files to make sure they meet expectations:

  • Spot-check pages to confirm they are straight, clear, and complete
  • Confirm that double-sided documents have both sides captured when requested
  • Verify that file names and folder structure match what we agreed on
  • If anything needs to be rescanned or corrected, I fix it before your project is finalized

Step 8 – Delivery of Digital Files

You choose how you would like to receive your finished files:

  • Encrypted USB drive or external drive
  • Secure, password-protected download link
  • Another agreed-upon method that works for you

Together we confirm that you can open the files and everything you expected is included.

Step 9 – What Happens to the Paper

Before the project begins, we agree on how to handle your original documents:

  • Return: All original paper documents are returned to you after scanning
  • Secure destruction (if requested and appropriate): After you confirm that digital files are complete, I can destroy the originals

Nothing is destroyed without your approval.

Security and Confidentiality

Streamline Scanning LLC takes the privacy of your documents seriously. I store documents in a locked, secure location.

What You Gain

By working with Streamline Scanning LLC, you get organized digital files that are easy to search and store.
