Customer's reviews and ratings
The files were all on a flash drive, and that flash drive somehow got corrupted. Out of the 500 or so word docs, powerpoints, and pdfs, almost 200 were corrupted. The PowerPoints seem mostly okay, no luck on any of the pdfs, and the word documents were hit and miss, sometimes I got most of the text, other times it wouldn't even open.
As free service it is good. But I can pay $10 only for corrupted files.
This program saved many hours worth of work. Being able to download and test the file made the purchase decision easy to make. Great product, easy to use.
The demo version of the program did not find data in my Word 2007 document. It was recovered from a formatted flashcard. Is it possible to repair? File size 17kb.
The formatted document was corrected by online services. Honestly, the quality is 4
Instead of a recently modified document, I got the previous saved version (Word Office 2003, .doc). I will give 4 stars, since it is not clear whose mistake: either MS Word could not save, or the program did not fully repair.
Recovery Tool box for Word was able to recover text with images. Some pictures had to be moved manually as they were on top of the text.
I was sure that the utility would be able to 100% recover my damaged document, since it contained only text and images. But I received only 80% of the recovered document, if you count in 356 pages out of 400. If you have a problem with encoding, then the program makes Word documents readable without loss
Fixed wrong encoding of .doc file in MS Word 2007.
I used this program to repair a damaged Microsoft Word 2007 file. During the fix, the text on the second page was restored without formatting, on all the rest it retained its style.
MS Office 2007 does not read the content of the document because it was damaged due to improper use of the flash drive. The document was repaired well, if you do not take into account the formatting of text and tables.
After I cracked the password of a Word 2007 document and saved it on top of the current document, it started showing the error "A file error has occurred" and stopped opening the file. After restoring the .DOC file, I noticed that the text was restored completely, but without formatting.
Good!!!
When opening a document in MS Office Word, the program cannot find out the encoding of the file. I tried to sort through the available encoding options, but it did not help. An unreadable encoding file was fixed using the software, but since the file was in Turkish, some characters were replaced with Cyrillic.
I was able to recover a Word file with errors. The recovered .RTF file, after the online fixing, had to be edited, since in some places the spaces between the words were large and in some words there were hieroglyphs (maybe because the document was in Turkish). Text restored at 90%
This is very helpful. I lost some important data on the word doc and made several manual attempt but was unsuccessful. This online doc recovery toolbox helped me recover my original document. Thanks a lot. Steven Boping Norman Finance Limited Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
Good
thanks a lot
I used the services of the company, online, just two days ago. Even with using a new SDD external harddisk, with one day before the deadline to submit some papers, suddenly, I couldn't open the documents, because they were "corrupted". I really panicked and I found this company on the web. As the price was fairly low (even for an SE Europe scientist, as I am), I submitted one document, just to try. The answer came fast. It was, let's say, 90% saved (the images were missing but this was not a problem). Immediately I submitted the second and most important document, an article. I was very upset because I worked several months for it (my mistake, not to save it on the main computer, at least each second week). I got the recovered document, with an absolutely perfect content. Even now, I am still astonished how well the document was recovered (only the fonts and some formatting were different). Thanks again, Prof.Dr. Corina Ionescu- Babes-Bolyai University, Geology Department, Cluj-Napoca, Romania
I used the software to recover 2 documents, only half the info was restored. Better than nothing.
IS COOL
Tool can recover all text. But images and tables was not repaired.
My word docs were completely recovered. It's all what I wanted.
Product can be applied every to old PCs. Not for free and costs not a little.
Best of the Word doc recovery tried (not saying much). Recovered a partial version of a file, but it was a version several saves prior.
