Preserve, Convert, and Publish Your Documents
At Foglio Custom Book Specialists, we combine the power of advanced software and machine learning technology to accurately convert your physical or scanned documents into digital text. This ensures that your old books, manuscripts, or historical documents are not just scanned, but fully translated into editable digital formats free from errors. Whether you need a digital file for personal use or are planning to publish, our services are tailored to meet your exact needs.
Our OCR process excels at retaining the original structure and formatting of your manuscript while transforming it into modern digital formats, ensuring your work is preserved accurately and made future-proof. Perfect for archival preservation, digital publishing, and print reformatting.
Our OCR and Digital Conversion Services Include:
Old Book Conversion & Digitization: If you have rare, out-of-print books or handwritten manuscripts, we can digitize these works, making them available for re-publication or archival storage. This is especially helpful for preserving fragile documents or preparing them for digital distribution.
Document Digitization & Text Recognition: We use machine learning software that recognizes printed and handwritten text, converting it into editable formats. Our technology ensures that even difficult-to-read documents can be converted with high accuracy, eliminating manual errors and producing clean, digital text for easy editing.
Old Text Conversion for Ebooks & Print: We specialize in converting older texts into modern formats. Our services are perfect for transforming historical manuscripts or printed works into formats that are compatible with both ebook platforms and print-on-demand services.
OCR Clean-Up and Text Refinement
During the OCR process, clean-up and error correction are critical. Text converted through OCR often contains recognition errors, especially with older fonts or handwritten documents. Our service includes comprehensive OCR clean-up to ensure the converted digital text is as close to the original as possible. We correct spelling, formatting inconsistencies, and any issues arising from the original scan.
This level of accuracy and refinement makes our service ideal for historical document preservation, ensuring that your digital copies maintain the authenticity and readability of the original.
Professional Book Design & Formatting Services
In addition to our conversion services, we offer professional book design and typesetting services. Once your manuscript has been digitized, we ensure that it is perfectly formatted for its intended use, whether that be an ebook or a print-ready PDF.
Custom Book Design: After converting your manuscript, we can format your book according to industry standards for print or digital formats. This includes everything from typesetting and cover design to formatting the interior layout to ensure an aesthetically pleasing, professional product.

Our ebook formatting service makes sure your work looks professional on any screen size.
