Have you ever found yourself in a sea of unsorted, unreadable documents, desperately trying to make sense of them all? If so, then you're certainly not alone. In-house legal teams are inundated with piles of documents and contracts each day and the challenges that come with managing them can be significant. Enter Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, the savior you didn't know your business needed.
It’s not magic, it’s OCR.
OCR is an advanced technology that can extract text from scanned PDFs, faxes, or photos of documents and convert them into searchable, readable text files. No more sifting through thousands of pages to find that elusive piece of information. With OCR, all you need to do is hit 'search'.
How does OCR work? It's a combination of pattern recognition and feature detection methods, all underpinned by a layer of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This fusion of technology and AI delivers accurate results, transforming your cluttered document system into an organized, searchable database.
Potential Pitfalls
It isn't always smooth sailing. OCR can grapple with complex or low-quality images. This can lead to inaccuracies creeping in and potentially jeopardizing critical legal decisions. Fortunately, there's a way around this. Advanced OCR tools that integrate seamlessly with your legal document storage, management, and analysis processes address this problem.
