New Xerox E-Discovery Tool Offers Fast And Effective Foreign Language Detection
Xerox Corporation recently launched a new e-discovery tool to accelerate the review process by quickly sorting documents based on language. Xerox Litigation Services' Foreign Language Identifier detects more than 45 languages, allowing for faster and more efficient discovery in global litigation matters.
Developed by researchers at the renowned Xerox Research Centre Europe, Foreign Language Identifier instantly determines which languages a document contains, identifies the majority language and provides a percentage breakdown of each. Locating multiple languages early in the discovery process allows attorneys to assemble translation services and complete reviews in a timely manner.
Xerox is unique in the e-discovery space for having developed proprietary foreign language software that can parse languages sentence by sentence as opposed to the whole document. Traditional tools only identify the majority language and require additional resources to manage multiple languages.
"As companies and litigation become more global, attorneys find themselves sorting through mass quantities of documents with multiple languages during discovery," said Craig Freeman, senior vice president, Xerox Litigation Services. "Foreign Language Identifier streamlines the review process by giving lawyers instant intelligence regarding the languages used and in which documents these languages appear."
Foreign Language Identifier is the latest enhancement to the Xerox Litigation Services e-discovery platform and is supported by other analytical tools such as E-Mail Analytics and near duplication detection software. These proprietary technologies are accessible from each client's custom Web site for no additional charge.
