Leveraging technology to increase review efficiency

eDiscovery technology has and continues to evolve rapidly. There are several technologies within review platforms that can increase the speed and accuracy of a legal team’s document review. These are frequently used on matters with small and large volumes of data, to assist legal teams in advising their clients earlier. Your eDiscovery partner can support you by deploying the right technology workflow at the right time.

Consider

• Email threading to group emails in a conversation chain together and points the reviewer to the unique content, creating context within the review and reducing the number of documents for review.

• Near-duplicate identification to group documents together based on their visual similarity. This is a great way to manage document versions or scanned and native document comparisons.

• Concept searching to allow the reviewer to search the document set with reference to the concepts contained within that document, rather than just the words that appear on the document. This allows for a broader and more accurate investigation of potentially relevant documents.

• Clustering to group the documents together in the review workspace based on their conceptual similarity. It requires no input from a reviewer and allows for a good high-level insight into document content.

• Photo search, a tool for key word searching photos. Key words are automatically assigned to a photo based on what the computer model determines is in the photo.

• Form extract for the extraction of form fields and responses without any manual input from the reviewer allowing those fields to be easily searched and filtered.

• Handwriting transcription to identify documents with handwritten annotations and apply accurate optical character recognition (OCR) to those annotations making them text searchable.

• Enhanced OCR to increase the searching capability of poor-quality documents such as scanned files and handwritten documents.
