What is a .DII file?
A .DII file is a type of computer file known as a Summation Batch Load File. It is created in a simple text format, which means it uses plain text that you can read with many text editing programs. However, what makes a .DII file special is the way it is organized. It doesn't use commas or other symbols to separate its parts. Instead, it spreads its information across multiple lines in a specific order.
This file is mainly used by a program called a Summation Core Database. The purpose of a .DII file is to act like a bridge. It connects summaries or brief descriptions stored in the database to their corresponding image files. Imagine you have a summary of a document and a scanned image of that document; the .DII file tells the database how these two are related.
To open a .DII file, you would typically use software designed for legal professionals and others who need to manage large amounts of documents and evidence. Two programs that can open .DII files are CT Summation iBlaze and WebBlaze. These programs allow users to view the information in the .DII file and access the linked images.
The types of image files that can be linked using a .DII file include electronic documents (eDocs) and scanned papers. Often, these scanned documents have gone through a process called Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents or PDFs, into editable and searchable data. This means that after a paper document is scanned and processed with OCR, you can search for words within that document on your computer, just like you would with a digital text file.
