Optical Character Recognition (OCR) services that allow for translation of document text images into searchable document text for the purpose of electronic discovery.   These OCR services are also beneficial for legal professionals seeking to decrease paper storage space requirements as they can preserve the content of paper documents by digitizing them and allowing for electronic storage.

Production services that allow you to provide appropriate documents to another party. These documents can be provided in a variety of formats to include:

  • Native Format:   Files produced in the format they were created and maintained are known as native production. In a native production, documents are produced in the format of the application in which they were created. Native format is often recommended for files that were not created for printing such as spreadsheets and small databases. For some file types the native format may be the only way to adequately produce the documents.
  • Near Native Format:   Some files, including most e-mail, cannot be reviewed for production and/or produced without some form of conversion. Most e-mail files must be extracted and converted into individual files for document review and production. As a result, the original format is altered and they are no long in native format. There is no standard format for near-native file productions. Files are typically converted to a structured text format such as .html or xml. These formats do not require special software for viewing.
  • Near Paper Format:  ESI can also be produced in a near paper format. Rendering an image is the process of converting ESI or scanning paper into a non-editable digital file. During this process a “picture” is taken of the file as it exists or would exist in paper format. Based on the print settings in the document, the printer or the computer, data can be altered or missing from the image.
  • Paper Format: Documents are produced as paper or ESI is printed to paper and the paper is produced.
