Scanning & Converting

The LexisNexis® Scanning & Converting team converts paper, microfiche and both structured and unstructured electronic content to a consistent digital format. We then leverage state-of-the-art taxonomy and linking technologies to give you a thorough, systematic way of classifying knowledge and relating it to other relevant information. Our expert team has long been recognized as a pioneer in data conversion and online search technology, and we have converted millions of documents into highly linked, searchable digital files.

Accurate document scanning

    The LexisNexis® Scanning & Converting team converts paper, microfiche and both structured and unstructured electronic content to a consistent digital format. We can capture all content and images within your documents for the most accurate digital representation.

      Robust image cleanup and enhancement technologies

        To improve our digital outputs, we apply a variety of image cleanup and enhancement tools, including brightness, contrast and color sharpening, cropping, de-skewing, rotation, and text centering. Our robust segmentation technology enables us to retain document boundaries and capture metadata within the document, as well.

          State-of-the-art OCR technology

            LexisNexis® Scanning & Converting leverages industry-leading optical character recognition (OCR) and imaging technology to convert your documents to a consistent digital format and layout. Scanned documents are preserved in a format that meets the highest expectations for quality, usability, compatibility and longevity. Available formats include XML, HTML, searchable PDFs, ASCII text, and microfiche.

              Sophisticated indexing and classification schemes

                The LexisNexis® data conversion team uses a rule-based classification system developed by computational linguists to build and maintain unique concept definitions. This classification then informs a global indexing application programming interface (GIAPI) as it identifies the most relevant documents in a search.

                  Robust XML metadata

                    Our conversion team uses XML to tag your digital documents with metadata—information about the data that categorizes the words or passages of text as a specific data type (e.g. publication date, byline or subject terms). This further enhances search functionality.
