Transcripts in machine-readable form can be imported directly into the CIS FullText retrieval system. Typically, text files loaded into CIS FullText are either transcripts from court reporters, files from word processing systems, or files created by the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) process. Once the text is loaded, our FullText retrieval software allows the text to be searched and annotated, marked, copied, and reprinted.

Because full text files do not have identical formats, CIS FullText incorporates many features to insure correct loading. Loading full text documents requires a number of steps:

• Determining where page breaks occur and where page numbers should be placed to assure accurate search results.
• Correcting format oddities such as line number problems.
• Stripping blank lines and excess margins to save disk space and provide better on-screen display.
• Removing extraneous text such as headers, footers, and timestamps so they do not interfere with phrase and proximity searches.

D-M's experience and quality control procedures ensure that page and line numbers in the FullText retrieval system exactly match the pages and lines in the actual transcript.

Clients who use other full text software packages can still take advantage of D-M's special loading and cleanup features before exporting the file for use in their own software packages.
