M.C. Document Solutions can meet your imaging needs, whether for litigation review or archive backfile conversion. We can scan paper in small or large format, up to 36" width. Our scanning software places a wide variety of scanner settings at the operator's fingertips, allowing for instantaneous full control over duplex, page size, brightness/contrast, black and white, grayscale, or color, blank page removal, and other imaging options without any decrease in processing time. All projects are Quality Controlled page by page, to ensure accurate data capture and the best possible image quality. Images can be delivered in the following formats: single page tiff, multi-page tiff, jpg, or PDF.
BATES
All litigation scan projects processed by M.C. Document Solutions can be numerically sequenced (BATES numbered) at scan time. This information can be endorsed onto the images (EBS), used as file naming, and listed externally in a cross reference file (load file).
Previously scanned documents or native files provided to M.C. Document Solutions can also be processed to be included in numerically sequenced sets. Paper documents which already have BATES labels or sequence information can be captured for digital inclusion in a numerically sequenced set (a process known as matching BATES).
Indexing/Coding
Another strength of a litigation review database is the ability to index and search fielded data associated with your documents. In e-discovery, this fielded data is populated directly from the native file's metadata. For scanned images, this information can be added at scan time or coded separately later on. M.C. Document Solutions offers standard bibliographic coding for all litigation review platforms or as XMP metadata for PDF deliverables. Additionally, M.C. Document Solutions' staff can assist you in the design and capture of custom fields to suit your project needs.
OCR
Digitally created and produced documents have an advantage over paper documents in that the full text is often extractable and searchable. The process of Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, can be used to partially restore this full text searchability to scanned paper documents. M.C. Document Solutions offers OCR text for litigation databases or directly embedded into your PDF files.
