[blindLaw] Scanning documents

[kelby carlson]

Our files are scanned in by secretaries. I use Abbyy FineReader to convert the scans. I have also used Seeing AI in emergencies when I am at the Magistrate, for example. I haven't had the chance to try VoiceDream Scanner yet, but have only heard good things.
