You might try downloading seeing AI; it is an app you can download on your phone; I have had really good luck with it.  It is from London.  I too get frustrated with police reports.  They are full of acronyms and abbreviations and tables that my ocr softwareget  wrong.  I have been a criminal defense attorney for about 20 years and I do have an assistant and AIRA and they are helpful.  My other advice is to get a get a friend or relative to help you out until you can afford to use Aira.  Let me know if I can be assistance and good luck!

Sincerely,

Hey Guys, I am going crazy. I am currently working at a criminal defense firm as a legal intern. I just recently took the bar exam, but I have not received my scores yet. I need to read a criminal arrest report, but some parts of the document is write by hand. I tried using AIR, but they are so expensive and they really do not transcribe documents. I tried using Be My Eyes, but the document is in a PDF, so no volunteer can read the document; even if, they take a picture of the document with there cell phone. I tried converting the document to a searchable PDF, but that was a total nightmare. I could only read twenty percent of the document. I spoke with the owner of the law firm, and suggested that someone read the document into a MP3, but he said, "No because that would not be a good use of his resources." Also, he said, that "Everyone must pull there own weight." I tried hiring a part-time Paralegal remotely, but she is not working out as well. Moreover, I only make $13 an hour. The firm is very small with only five people including the owner. I am running out of ideas. I love the job, but someone told me, that "You cannot be a criminal defense attorney alone. You need an assistance. How is that possible, when I have not passed the bar exam? Please help! I have only worked at this law firm for two weeks



Sincerely,


Roderick Thomas.
