# Aperture Card ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can aperture cards be indexed? Yes. Once we have retrieved the data from the scanning process, we can index this information in your preferred format. ### What if the aperture card is damaged? Can it still be scanned? This depends on the level of damage but if it is readable with the human-eye, it can be reproduced. ### Can you use Optical Character Recognition on my aperture card scans? Yes. Of course, if an aperture card is presented in poor condition, this may hamper the quality of the scan. We do, however, supply experienced proofreaders to amend mistakes as part of an extra service. ### Do you scan confidential material? Yes. Up to 80% of the materials we scan at Microform are confidential. From invoice statements through to medical records, we ensure a fully secure and confidential service that puts the privacy of our clients at the centre of everything that we do. Confidentiality agreements can also be signed to ensure the tightest possible controls. ### How are the digital images returned? Images can be sent in a number of ways, whether digitally, using a cloud sharing platform, or hand-delivered, in a hard-drive or USB stick. Preferred methods are usually either: an encrypted HDD delivered securely to the customer, a digital download link, an SFTP transfer, or DVD/CD (for smaller jobs). We can integrate with your current workflows or provide [cloud storage](/document-management/store/cloud) to facilitate the delivery of images. ### Can the images be transferred to a cloud management system? Yes. Another service we offer is the installation of [bespoke cloud management systems](/document-management/store/cloud) that are designed to meet the needs and requirements of our clients. Find out more about our [cloud management services](/document-management/store/cloud). ### Which locations do you serve?
