Filter for specifics

Find images & PDFs

Have non-searchable images and files in your DMS? Finding them is easy with optical character recognition (OCR). This simple yet powerful tool digitizes all your content so it’s fully indexed and searchable.
Auto-profile documents with AI

Instead of manually tagging files, use AI to instantly get faster and richer metadata. AI-powered auto-profiling can automatically identify nuanced details about a document and enrich the profile card, making it easier to find in the future.

Discovering gold in the DMS with robust legal file search
