CT Summation's Discovery Cracker 5.2 includes the following:

• Unicode Support: Discovery Cracker now supports Unicode, an industry standard allowing computers and software programs to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. Discovery Cracker supports 75 different Unicode scripts that identify over 350 different international character sets. The adoption of the Unicode standard gives Discovery Cracker the power to process international documents that in many cases are written in 2 or more languages. For example, you may have a document where the body text is in Arabic but the headers and footers are in English. Discovery cracker can identify both of these languages in the single document.
  
  
• DC Detective: A feature-rich, browser based tool that provides early visibility into the electronic discovery process, provides secure, online access to extracted data for filtering and viewing while optionally selecting and tagging files for processing.
  
  
• Scalability: Architecture built around scalable and distributed processing, multi-processing support, and unlimited access by technicians.
  
  
• Multiple file formats: Discovery Cracker supports high volume extraction of electronically stored information and its metadata from over 500 file formats. Extracted data is stored in a SQL-based repository with associated images, full-text files and metadata including the most popular file formats from Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Lotus Notes.
  
  
• Robust Production: Product capabilities including automatic identification and OCR of image only files, ensuring all of the data is searchable during review. Deliver processed discovery data in native format or asTIFF images with enhanced endorsing and bates numbering.
  
  
• Distributed Processing: Discovery Cracker's multi-threaded, distributed processing capability allows you to process data across multiple servers whether it's for a single project or many. Automated tasks and priority settings allow you to balance your processing requirements to meet project demands.
  
  
• Speed: The fastest Discovery Cracker version  to date, users can maximize their hardware via a fully distributed architecture and leverage teamwork with unlimited but secure access to the main user console. That combined with faster metadata extraction and rendering of TIFF images means users get the data that matters most to review teams quickly and accurately.
