Legal scanning is a process that takes place when an e-document, such as a PDF or Word file, is scanned for legal information. Legal scanners are trained to scan documents in order to extract text from images and convert it into searchable text. It can help reduce the time needed to prepare documents for review by attorneys
There are three main benefits of Legal Scanning:
1) It reduces the time needed to review documents before they’re submitted in court
2) It increases efficiency, allowing more cases to be processed daily
3) It saves money because you don’t have to pay paralegals or employees to do the same work Legal scanners do.

2-Legal eDiscovery services, such as iScansoft’s docScanr™ service, who take your paper/hard-copy documents and digitize them, extracting metadata including:
