High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) is a Microsoft Office application that supports editing documents scanned by Microsoft Office Document Scanning. It was first introduced in Microsoft Office XP and is included in later Office versions including Office 2007. While the native file format of MODI seems to be MDI, MODI can read and write a small variety of TIFF files. It can also save OCR text into the original TIFF file. However, MODI produces .tif files which violate the TIFF standard and are usable only by the Microsoft Office Document Imaging products. JPEG format images can be recovered from these files using data carving recovery tools designed to cull intact files from images of damaged hard drives such as foremost. The OCR text in these files is visible in a binary editor.
