OCR Applications for Law Firms

Download OCR Application Learn More About OCR in Legal Industry

Law firms typically have hundreds if not thousands of legal documents, most of them on paper. In an age where everyone wants a paperless environment, law firms are no exception. In this context, OCR plays a critical role in ensuring accessibility, optimization and searchable functionality of legal documents. This is why law firm OCR software is so critical today.

Handwritten Structured Legal Documents

When it comes to legal notes, case histories and other relevant aspects about a case, a lot of it would have been handwritten. In an effort to reduce the paper load, these documents would have been scanned into images. If a lawyer wanted to search for a particular file or case information, he or she would have to manually browse through all the scanned images. This would be a tedious and time-consuming task. This is where a dedicated law firm OCR software can make matters easier.

Structured Handwriting and Barcode Recognition

One of the abilities of the new-age law firm OCR software is the ability to convert both barcodes as well as handwritten text into searchable, optimized text. This opens up a world of possibilities, especially for law firms. Many legal notes and information pertaining to a case are written down on paper. Simply scanning this information cannot render the file searchable. It is only with law firm OCR software that such files can be made searchable.

Searching For Phrases Or Words

The primary and probably most important advantage about applying OCR to legal documents is in the searchable functionality it provides. Thus, if a lawyer wanted to search for particular phrases or the name of a person within a legal document of about 500 pages, a law firm OCR software could make the job so much easier. Instead of manually having to search through every page, which is not feasible and extremely time-consuming, the person can just search for the particular phrase and receive results instantly.

Increased Accuracy

Manual methods of browsing through scanned documents, page after page, can result in human errors. Often a crucial page in a legal text or document could be missed, resulting in altering the very nature of the case. This is where a law firm OCR software can ensure better accuracy and more precise information.
