DocQore — Government document processing
Digitize your paper and microfilm archives. Make 15 years of records searchable in 90 days. Clear FOIA backlogs by finding documents in minutes instead of weeks.
FOIAXpress manages requests. DocQore clears the pile. We digitize your legacy records — paper, microfilm, microfiche — and make them searchable with AI-powered OCR and automatic PII redaction. Your FOIA officers stop digging through boxes and start releasing records.
- Throughput 1,000+ pages/hour
- OCR accuracy 95-98%
- Searchable archive 60-90 days
Meets Federal Digitization Standards
DocQore outputs meet NARA requirements for permanent federal records. Digitize with confidence that your records meet federal standards:
- FADGI 3-Star Compliant — Image quality meets Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative standards
- PDF/A Output — Archival format accepted for transfer to National Archives
- Metadata Standards — Dublin Core and NARA-required fields for archival transfer
- Quality Validation — Automated checks against NARA 36 CFR Part 1236 requirements

Technical Specifications
What it does
- Legacy Format Conversion — Purpose-built for the formats agencies actually have: 16mm, 35mm roll film, COM microfiche, aperture cards, bound volumes, loose sheets, oversized maps, faded/stained/damaged originals, and handwritten records with AI-assisted human validation
- Advanced Preprocessing — Deskew, despeckling, contrast enhancement, and edge detection for maximum OCR accuracy on challenging media
- NLP-powered metadata extraction and tagging
- Exemption-Aware PII Redaction — Redact by FOIA exemption with full audit trail: (b)(6) Personal Privacy (names, SSNs, DOB, addresses), (b)(7)(C) Law Enforcement (witness names, informant IDs), (b)(4) Trade Secrets (commercial/financial info), plus custom agency-specific patterns. Each redaction tagged with exemption code, reviewer ID, and timestamp. Export redaction log for FOIA response documentation
- Searchable archive with full-text indexing
- Batch processing with quality gates and human-in-loop validation
