Unshredder - Overview
Unshredder is a simple program that unleashes the power of a desktop computer to reduce the time consumed by investigators reconstructing shredded documentary evidence.
Until now the only alternative to manual processing was to engage a third party to process the work on computers at their premises. By comparison to external processing of the evidence Unshredder reduces the turnaround time, keeps full control of the investigation in-house and there is less risk of a security risk or loss of the evidence.
The original shreds remain unchanged from the process and the integrity of the original is captured electronically to be printed or despatched electronically by wire or disc.
Learning to use Unshredder is straight forward for anyone with basic computer skills, the menu is used to select an action and user input when required is entered into a dialogue box. The user interface uses a menu system and common controls to provide an intuitive application that completes work with minimal input from the user.
During document reconstruction the job can be previewed allowing minor adjustments to be made until the end result meets the standard required. When satisfied with the results the job is saved to disk ready to be printed, emailed or copied for future reference. Unshredder can reconstruct a broad range of documents including strip-shred, cross-shred and torn pages rapidly achieving accurate professional results.
