How does optical character recognition (OCR) improve processing capabilities in Relativity?

Optical character recognition (OCR) significantly enhances processing capabilities in Relativity by converting scanned images of documents into machine-readable text. This process allows Relativity to extract and index the textual content from images, making it searchable and easier to analyze.

By transforming non-editable formats, such as PDF documents or images of printed text, into editable and searchable text, OCR facilitates a range of functions, from enabling keyword searches to assisting in data organization and retrieval. This capability is crucial for legal professionals who need to quickly find relevant information within vast amounts of documentation. The efficiency gained from using OCR can greatly reduce the time and effort required for document review, analysis, and preparation for legal proceedings.

Other options, while related to document handling in some contexts, do not directly address the core functionality and benefit that OCR provides in the context of processing capabilities within Relativity.
