CODING

Whether you call it bibliographical indexing or "tombstone" data entry, objective coding is the entry of basic information about each production document. Rather than simply create a list of documents in word processing format, our objective coding is imported directly into your structured litigation support database. This means that you get much more than a static list to be served on the other side: you get a powerful trial preparation tool that links to your document images, discovery transcripts, and other key information pertinent to your case.

Our standard coded fields include Author, Recipient, Document Type, Document Title and Document Date and we can also code many other types of information that may assist counsel on a particular matter. Our coding is accurate and consistent, to ensure nothing is missed when searches are performed. Our highly trained team of document specialists follow a customized manual that we prepare with your approval and all our coding work passes through multiple levels of quality control.

How long does it take to get documents coded? Call us for a specific quote. We typically code about 20,000-30,000 documents per week. Our price is competitive not only with our North American counterparts, but with offshore coding shops.

OCR / OWR Definition

A cost-effective supplement to the coding of your scanned documents is Optical Character Recognition (OCR) text conversion, or Optical Word Recognition (OWR). Whereas scanning turns a paper document into a digital image file, OCR / OWR produces a fully editable and searchable text at just pennies per document.

Is OCR / OWR 100% accurate? Not quite, but for the purpose of enhancing database searches, the text produced by our high-end OCR / OWR engines is excellent. Coupled with the "fuzzy searching" capabilities of your litigation support software, OCR can be a powerful weapon that is simply unavailable without scanning.
