| Keyboarding |
|
ThomasTech maintains a full editorial staff
proficient in manual data entry—as well as proofing and
editing—to enter large amounts of data quickly, accurately,
and efficiently when programmatic data conversion is not possible.
|
| Proofing |
|
Once data is converted to a suitable format,
we validate it to ensure accuracy. If converting to XML/SGML,
ThomasTech parses the data to ensure that it conforms to your
DTD. In the proofing stage, data specialists check the data
accuracy by taking random samples. These quality assurance
steps keep ThomasTech's accuracy rate at 99.9%.
