An important step in the paper-to-digital conversion is the need to label and catalog the scanned documents. Such labeling allows the scanned documents to be searched. Some technologies have been developed to do this, but generally involve either human cataloging or automated indexing on the OCR document.
However, scanners and software continue to improve, with small, portable scanners that are able to scan doubled-sided A4 documents at around 30-35ppm to a raster format (typically TIFF fax 4 or PDF).
Issues in keeping documents digital
1. Business procedures and/or government regulations. These often slow the adoption of exclusively electronic documents.
2.The target readers' ability to receive and read the digital format.
3. The target readers' ability to manipulate, i.e. highlights, annotates, or edits data in a digital format.
4. The longevity of digital documents. Will they still be accessible to computer systems of the future?
Paperless versus traditional office philosophy
A traditional office consisted of paper-based filing systems, which may have included filing cabinets, folders, shelves, compactuses, microfiche systems, and drawing cabinets, all of which take up considerable space, requiring maintenance and equipment. A blinds manufacturing company who make roller shades and woven wood shades , they are doing business online with paperless office. Few years back it was not possible. Same way, we can take example of term life insurance agents who are doing online business which is again a paperless.Meanwhile, a paperless office could simply consist of a desk, chair, and computer (with a modest amount of local or network storage) and the user could use and store all the information in digital form, including speech recognition and speech synthesis.
