Microsoft Office Document Imaging

Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI)

Document management and scanning software to digitize, store, and share paper documents, convert scanned papers into digital files for searching, editing, and sharing.

What is Microsoft Office Document Imaging?

Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) is a document management and document scanning software application that was included in older versions of Microsoft Office. It was designed to help organizations digitize their paper documents and improve document workflows.

Some key features of MODI include:

• Scanning paper documents directly into MODI using any TWAIN-compliant scanner
• Applying optical character recognition (OCR) to scanned documents to make them searchable
• Indexing and tagging documents with metadata so they can be easily searched and retrieved
• Annotating documents with highlights, stamps, and text boxes
• Built-in document management features for version control and check-in/check-out
• Integration with SharePoint for storing and sharing scanned documents

While MODI is no longer included in the latest Microsoft Office suites, it provided useful document imaging and OCR capabilities for earlier versions. Many organizations used MODI to eliminate paper records and transition to electronic document storage. However, most MODI features have now been superseded by SharePoint, OneDrive, and other modern document management solutions.
