At Horsell Technical Communications, we transform physical technical manuals, drawings, and reference materials into structured, searchable, and compliant digital content. Many organisations still rely on paper-based archives that are difficult to access, update, or distribute.
Our digitisation services bring those legacy assets into the digital age — reducing risk, improving accessibility, and ensuring compliance with Defence and industry standards. We use specialist scanning, indexing, and reformatting techniques to capture every detail accurately, whether from bound manuals, engineering drawings, or field instructions.
Combined with metadata tagging and structured formatting (including XML, S1000D, or client-specific templates), your digitised documents become easy to update, manage, and integrate into modern content management systems.
