ALCoder™ Technical Information

ALCoder™ autocoding software is a Microsoft Windows computer program designed for law firms and litigation service centers. ALCoder software:

• provides a cost superior alternative to, or supplement for, manual coding;
• generates document coding for fast indexing, hybrid coding, and de-duplication;
• versions include plug-in, GUI, DDE, command line, and COM library processing;
• does not require complicated service agreements.

Data Requirements
ALCoder works with ASCII data input, output and control files. By working with this lowest common denominator format, ALCoder easily integrates into any existing system.

Processing Speed
ALCoder comes in 600 documents per hour, 1,500 documents per hour, or hardware dependent speed versions. The fastest version of ALCoder includes ODBC capabilities for SQL database access.

(Documents per hour derived from a five page per document average.)

System Requirements
ALCoder should run on Windows PCs that have at least 64 Megabytes of RAM and 1 Gigabyte of free disk space. ALCoder runs best when all executable and data files are on one computer.

There is no database server, Unix, shell environment, component library, or other extraordinary support requirements. ALCoder uses a simple database for data handling during processing. SQL server access is possible via ODBC.

Document Types
ALCoder natively looks for approximately fifteen basic document types. Users may define rules to identify additional document types.
