[blindLaw] tools used in law offices

[Singh, Nandini]

There are a whole bunch depending on the task. Here are some examples off the top of my head that you will see in many types of offices and not just law firms. I use most on a fairly regular basis:

Communication: Zoom, Teams, WebEx
OCR: Omnipage
Document Processing (other than OCR): Adobe Pro, Power PDF, Work Share Compare
Email: Outlook or Lotus Notes (if you are still in the 80s)
Data Organization and Analysis: Excel, Access
Presentation: Power Point

Hello everyone
I am finishing up my paralegal studies and am starting to shift towards
looking for paralegal   adjacent jobs. What software does everyone use who
works in the law field? I want to start to familiarise myself with applications I may use in law offices. I have heard about ABBY FineReader and plan to take a look when I have a little more time. I am familiar with Microsoft Word and Google docs. Are there any other programs you all think I may use? I don't necessarily mean law office specific programs, but programs that I could use anywhere. A Lot of jurisdictions are switching to e-filing and I am curious if editing or creating PDFs accessible? Thank you for your help.
Heidi
