Make your documents searchable and easier to navigate.

Digitized documents are easier to store and share—but finding specific information within them can still be time-consuming.

Archive Lane offers document indexing and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) as optional enhancements to Document Digitization projects, helping transform static files into searchable, organized records.

This service is available only after or alongside document digitization.

Especially Helpful For

  • Legal or estate records

  • Business or administrative files

  • Research collections

  • Multi-year document archives

  • Any project where quick retrieval matters

  • What it is:

    • Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applied to eligible documents

    • Creation of searchable text layers within PDFs

    • Indexing to improve document navigation and retrieval

    • Designed to enhance access and usability

    What it isn’t:

    • Guaranteed 100% text accuracy

    • Manual data entry or transcription

    • Interpretation or correction of document content

    • A replacement for original documents

    OCR accuracy varies based on document quality, layout, and condition.

  • OCR and indexing work best on:

    • Clean, typed documents

    • Standard layouts with clear text

    • High-contrast originals

    Results may be limited for:

    • Handwritten materials

    • Faded or damaged documents

    • Complex layouts or unusual fonts

    Each project is reviewed to determine suitability before OCR is applied.

  • Document indexing and OCR are optional enhancements to document digitization services.

    They may be added during project review or requested after digitization is complete. Not all projects require OCR, and recommendations are based on intended use rather than volume.
