How it works

  1. Upload your house style A Word template or well-styled document Your best-formatted document teaches LexForge your headings, numbering and footnotes.
  2. Upload the document A scan or inherited file A scanned PDF, or a Word file that arrived in someone else's style.
  3. Download it in your style Word for word, ready to review Uncertain words are flagged for human review, never guessed.

An automated animation shows torn strips from a crooked typewritten lease scan settling into a clean, structured document inside a modern word processor. Learned styles highlight in the styles gallery as each piece lands. The wording does not change.

A 150-page lease shouldn’t become a typing project.

Retyping and reformatting an existing document takes time your team could spend moving matters forward. LexForge rebuilds it as an editable Word draft in your firm’s house style, with uncertain wording flagged for checking.

Spend your time reviewing the document and doing the legal work.

Why it's different

Reconstructed, not flattened.

OCR reads the words, AI rebuilds headings, numbering and structure, the draft is checked against the source reading, and uncertain words are flagged for a person to review rather than guessed.

The fictional 1987 lease from the demonstration above: the typewritten scan we start with, and the house-styled Word draft LexForge returns. One smudged word is highlighted for review instead of guessed.

What firms reconstruct

Documents firms often need to reuse.

Leases & deeds

The 1987 lease from three owners ago: smudged, skewed and unsearchable.

Contracts & agreements

Signed copies, archived scans and old templates that need to become editable again.

Correspondence & records

Scanned letters, attendance notes and matter files your team still needs to use.

Common questions

The questions firms ask first.

What can I upload?

Scanned PDFs and Word (.docx) documents, up to 100 MB. A poor scan still converts. Words the reading leaves uncertain are marked for your review.

Can it read handwriting or poor scans?

Printed and typewritten text reads best. When a smudge, a stamp or a handwritten note leaves a word uncertain, LexForge marks it for your review instead of guessing.

Which languages does LexForge support?

LexForge is built for English-language legal documents. If your firm needs another language, tell us at support@lexforge.app.

How do footnotes come back?

Footnote text is kept and styled to match your examples. It is returned as editable text in the document body rather than as Word's linked footnotes.

What happens to my documents?

Documents are stored and OCR-read in the UK, structure analysis runs inside the EEA, and customer documents are never used to train AI models. Scans are cleaned up automatically, and your firm controls how long finished files remain. The Security page has the full detail.
