What does Relativity store when a document contains both native text and images?

When a document contains both native text and images, Relativity stores extracted text and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) data together. This is important because the combination of these two elements provides a comprehensive representation of the document's content.

The extracted text allows users to search and analyze the textual content of the document, which is crucial for document review and discovery processes. On the other hand, OCR converts images of text into machine-readable text, allowing for similar functionality with text that appears within graphical content. By storing both the extracted text and OCR together, Relativity ensures that all parts of the document are indexed properly for efficient searching and retrieval, thus enhancing the overall usability of the documents in a legal context. This integrative approach allows users to access both the textual and visual information seamlessly for thorough analysis.
