[blindLaw] reading hand written documents

[Julie A. Orozco]

In my limited experience, this is one of the greatest access challenges. I
suppose AI could read it, but in actual legal practice, there will be
understandable limits to using AI due to confidentiality concerns. 

If the document is typed and there is no hand writing on it, you can use OCR
software without issues, but if there is hand writing on the document, OCR
will usually fail to process it well. For these situations, I have asked for
a reader to either read the document to me so I could take my own notes on
it or type up the document and send it to me. 

Hope this helps,

Julie

Subject: [blindLaw] reading hand written documents

Hello, I have a question about reading printed materials. If you are handed
paper material that is either typed or hand written, Is  there a best way to
read  these materials with some kind of scanner or app? I personally have
not found an app on the iphone that has really done a good job to the point
whre I would trust it without it becoming a battle to make sure it read
things correctly. If anyone has any recommendations for apps, other
equipment or methods, any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
