Leases & deeds
The 1987 lease from three owners ago: smudged, skewed and impossible to edit.

Free trial · no card required
An animated slice of the LexForge workspace. A reference Word file is dropped in and its styles are read. Then a scanned 1987 lease is dropped in and read line by line, and one uncertain word, Warleigh, is caught. Finally the rebuilt Word page appears in the house style, with Warleigh flagged for review, and the draft is downloaded.
The problem
A 150-page lease shouldn’t become a typing project.
Retyping and reformatting takes hours your team could spend on client work. LexForge rebuilds the document as an editable Word draft in your house style, with uncertain wording flagged.
Your team checks the draft instead of typing it.

An editable Word document, not a picture of the page.
OCR reads the words and AI rebuilds the headings, numbering and structure. Wording is kept as read, never rewritten by AI. Every scan comes back as a review copy, with uncertain words highlighted for you to check against the original. How the wording check works.
| What you get | Basic PDF-to-Word tools | LexForge |

What firms reconstruct
Documents firms often need to reuse.
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.
Need a person? Email support@lexforge.app.
What can I upload?
Scanned PDFs and Word (.docx) documents, up to 100 MB. A poor scan still converts, but comes back as a review copy with anything uncertain highlighted for you to check against the original. A Word file keeps its own clause numbering; your house style's numbering is applied to scanned PDFs only.
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 read in the UK, AI processing runs in the EU with storage switched off, 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.
