Abstract: A language processing system is provided, including at least one computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for performing a method. The method may include retrieving a first body of alphanumeric character-based text from a first database. The method may also include converting the first body of alphanumeric character-based text into a multi-bit character encoding. In addition, the method may include writing the multi-bit encoded text to a non-formatted text file and storing the multi-bit encoded text from the text file in a second database. Further, the method may include converting the multi-bit encoded text in the second database to a set of hexidecimal codes and creating, from the set of hexidecimal codes, a web-based report that reproduces the first body of alphanumeric character-based text.
