Which results are generated and stored in the document repository during discovery?

The correct response highlights the comprehensive nature of data captured during the discovery phase in legal processes. During discovery, a variety of data types are reviewed, which typically includes both native files and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) results.

Native files are the original versions of electronic documents—such as Word files, PDFs, or spreadsheets—that can be accessed as they were created. These documents carry all the original metadata and features, making them vital for understanding the context and content of the information being analyzed.

OCR results come into play when dealing with scanned documents or image files, which by themselves do not contain accessible text. OCR technology converts images of text into machine-encoded text, allowing for text searchability and making it easier to extract and analyze information contained in non-editable formats.

By generating and storing both native files and OCR results, the document repository ensures that the entirety of the relevant data is preserved and available for review. This combination allows for a more thorough examination of the materials involved in a legal case, facilitating better insights and decision-making.
