As described in
various sections of this site, no amount of caution is too great when it comes to
inspection of Mezuzot. In addition to the various methods of scrutinization
employed by our highly trained and certified examiners, we offer computer scanning.
The STaM computer scanning system was developed by the Vaad Mishmereth STaM to be able to
scan and examine almost all handwritings.
After the scribe carefully writes or inspects the scroll, the writing is double-checked
for textual accuracy using computer scanning technology. The computer scans the Mezuzah
for textual errors and may catch something the scribe, who is only human, overlooked. This
is an extra assurance of Kashrut, endorsed by the Vaad Mishmereth STaM as an effective
additional method of inspection.
It is hard to believe that computers catch almost 72% of Sifrei Torah with mistakes, even
after careful examination by scribes! Although Mezuzot and Tefillin have a lower
percentage of computer-caught mistakes, errors are found via the computer scanning process
on almost a daily basis.
NOTE: Because the computer only seeks textual errors, once the text of a Mezuzah,Tefillin
or Sefer-Torah has been computer-verified, it will no longer, in its lifetime, require
additional computer scanning.
