Live Data Entry

• The input data are manually typed in at least twice, in some cases three times, meaning that these are "live" data-versus "scanned" data which are only images.
• The eBookMatrix professionals recreate all graphics, charts and tables.
• The "live" documentation is fully searchable data versus scanned data, which are merely images with no search capability.
• When digitized, typed data take only about 1/1000 of the storage space of that of scanned images.
• One CD can contain over 300 books (text only) or volumes at an average length of 400 pages versus scanned data that would contain approximately only one half of an average book.
• The typed text is fully scaleable, meaning the character does not lose sharpness and clarity when enlarged versus a scanned image, which would become blurred when enlarged.
• Volumes of data entered on CDs and DVDs may be linked electronically for full search capability of entire volumes simultaneously.

Output Quality

• The live data is manually entered twice, or in some cases three times, and the multiple outputs are matched by proprietary software highlighting and identifying the discrepancies of the multiple versions of the entered documentation resulting in a 99.99 % or better accuracy rates.
• Unlike scanned images the characters do not lose sharpness when they are enlarged.
• The data storage medium does not deteriorate over time and does not require any special and costly climate controlled facility.

Production Rate

• eBookMatrix employs 300 employees in China for data entry segment of business only.
• eBookMatrix has experience in electronic book publishing business since 1989.
• The current production capacity is 250,000 pages of data entered per month, this production rate can be readily expanded to meet any increased production demand.
• Production capacity analysis There are averaged 400 pages per book. There are averaged 2,000 words per page, or 800,000 words per book.
  
• There are averaged 150 pages per graphic journal. There are averaged 1,000 words per graphic journal, or 150,000 words per graphic journal.
• The current production capacity for Green Apple is about 250,000 pages, or 500,000,000 words per month, which equivalent to roughly about 600 books, or 1,600 graphic journals, or 800 text only journals.
• Example : Green Apple just completed an archive service project within one month for a Chinese newspaper with 25 years daily issues. Each issue of the newspaper has about 30 pages. Therefore
  25 years x 365 issues/year x 30 pages/issue = 273,750 pages 

Space Saving Factors

• There are averaged 25 books per cubic foot.
• There are averaged 200 CD's or DVD's per cubic foot.
• One CD has recordable memory space of 650 MB and can contain electronic data for about 300 books, or one DVD has recordable memory space of 8 GB and can contain electronic data for about 4,000 books.
• Thus, one cubic foot of CD's can contain electronic data for 1 Cubic foot x 200 CD/Cubic foot x 300 books/CD = 60,000 books 
  
  Therefore, the space saving factor for CD's is:
  
  60,000 books : 25 books = 2,400 : 1
  
• Furthermore, one cubic foot of DVD's can contain electronic data for 1 Cubic foot x 200 DVD/Cubic foot x 4,000 books/DVD = 800,000 books
  
  Therefore, the space saving factor for DVD's is:
  
  800,000 books : 25 books = 32,000 : 1

Additional Capabilities
