Last fall I posted a list of companies or organizations that offered high speed scanning services for people who wanted their books in a Kurzweil format (.kesi files) and could not get them any other way. Tech-Solutions Scanning needs to be added to the list on that post but I wanted to have a separate post for it as a reminder of having books scanned as an option.
Their membership tab gives a 404 error so I can’t tell how much a membership costs or how that relates to the cost of getting a book scanned and converted into .kesi files. You can get more information at:
rbradley@rjtechsolutions.com
1-866-538-9984
FAX – 1-406-538-8174
Our books are ready to use by your STUDENTS.
Why are Tech-Solutions books so popular?
*Zone Edited
*OCR Corrected
*Spell Checked
*Page Numbering matches the numbering of the book
*Chapter Dividing
*Books are rebound in spiral format

Frequently, I am asked, “what scanner do you use?” for the production of digital books. For the most part, we are a PC campus so these scanners may not be compatible for Macs.
The first two are great for personnal scanners; not meant to be production machines, but affordable for personal use.

The following 3 scanners are production scanners. We used one scanner, a Canon DR 5080C – no longer available, for 6 years without ever having a problem – we scan and convert every textbook sold at our bookstore.
