Handling records on physical microfilm is cumbersome and deterioration of the microfilm over time puts your records at risk. The Digital ReeL microfilm conversion and microfiche scanning service is ideal for San Antonio, Texas companies and government agencies that are ready to eliminate microfilm archives and physical readers.

Digital ReeL is a complete microfiche scanning and microfilm conversion service for San Antonio, Texas organizations. We start by digitally converting your microform records at our Silicon Valley, California conversion facility (if your records must remain on-site, we work with regional partners). Once your records are scanned, users access the digital microfiche or digital microfilm rolls via a web based application.

The Affordable Microfiche Scanning Service

• We convert the entire microfiche (or microfilm roll). Our pricing is per microfiche and per microfilm roll. This differs from other microfiche scanning services that price per image (there can be hundreds of images on a fiche or roll). Digital ReeL is the practical and affordable microfiche scanning service you are looking for; it is particularly well suited for legacy archives that are not accessed all that often.

Microfiche Scanning Accuracy

• We create a digital replica of each physical microfiche in its entirety. No images or details on the microfiche are lost, preserving your records exactly as they appeared in their physical state.

Web Application Included for Easy Retrieval and Viewing

• The Digital ReeL San Antonio microfilm conversion solution includes an elegant, easy-to-use viewer that enables users to view a complete digital microfiche and then zoom in to individual records. Full text search is included so that users can leverage your existing indexing scheme and also locate records using any combination of words, phrases and numbers.

Install at your San Antonio Location or Leverage our Cloud

• On Premise: Digital ReeL is offered as an on premise, self-deployed solution. After we complete the microfilm conversion or microfiche scanning service, we send your digital images along with the Digital ReeL application to an IT person. Your digital images and the Digital ReeL application are installed and managed at your site. Users leverage one or more computer workstations (even tablets) to access digital microfiche/microfilm records from the Digital ReeL application.
• Cloud Option: With this option, BMI completes the microfilm/microfiche service and then hosts your digital records at our secure data center (via our partnership with RagingWire). Researchers access records using any computer or tablet to log into the Digital ReeL application through a browser (e.g. Chrome, Internet Explorer).

Digital ReeL is the Practical Solution for Your Legacy Records 

• Adjustable Grayscale Enhancement: Optimize the quality of tough-to-read images with grayscale enhancement. Unlike solutions that provide static grayscale images, Digital ReeL includes the ability to adjust the brightness and contrast of individual images to provide you the most legible image.
• Affordable: Digital ReeL is normally priced per microfiche sheet with indexing at the microfiche title level. With this process, you can easily replicate your existing search methods and save money by skipping the expensive document-level indexing step.

If you’re frustrated with your microfiche reader/printer but think it would cost too much to digitally scan your records, we encourage you to look at Digital ReeL – the affordable and easy-to-use microfilm reader/printer replacement solution.

• Enhanced Image Quality with Adjustable Grayscale: users can optimize the quality of each image, making it possible to read images that might be difficult, even impossible to read on your physical microfiche.
• Affordable Microfiche Reader/Printer Replacement Solution: In many cases, scanning your microfiche records to digital costs less than buying a reader/printer, and you won’t have to deal with the hassle of a physical machine!
• No More Physical Units: When you scan your microfiche, you can retire your hardware units and not have to worry about maintenance, space requirements, and all the other nuances of microfiche machines.
