A Texas district court ordered S.C. Johnson perform optical character recognition (OCR) on digitized documents they offered as evidence in a case issued by Procter and Gamble.

As the article indicates, “The court held that OCR would render the documents searchable, thereby streamlining the discovery process and making it harder to hide relevant information in difficult-to-search documents.”

OfficeDrop users can relate to the judge’s statement that OCR is “a tool that greatly decreases the time and effort counsel must invest in searching and examining documents.”

Typically 200 dots per inch(dpi) provides adequate resolution for OCR. At OfficeDrop we provide OCR in 300 dpi using best-of-breed OCR software to provide very high levels of accuracy.  You can imagine the accessibility this provides counsel in courts.  Where once lawyers may have carried stacks of evidence into court, they now have the ability to carry all the evidence from all their cases on one laptop. In an instant, with the search capabilities provided by our service,  they can identify a case specific piece of evidence and view it all in our intuitive document viewer.
