What does that mean?

0 minutes 10 seconds
It means that you’ve opened up that PDF.

0 minutes 12 seconds
So instead of the PDF being a blind slate, you’ve actually located every word in it and now you can search that document.

That’s important.

OCR ING the record of records on time for you to be able to do mass tort or class action cases.

And so why is that important?

Even if you don’t do mass tort in your law firm, it’s going to allow you to follow what the trends are and have a referral firm who says to you, hey, these are the cases we’re doing.

And so let’s say that it’s a medical device or let’s say that it’s a product.
0:47
0 minutes 47 seconds
And so you can search all of your records in a mass search for anyone who has those devices or that product listed in their records.
0:55
0 minutes 55 seconds
And now let’s say you come up with 100 clients who have it listed.
0:58
0 minutes 58 seconds
You can call those clients and then refer them out to that referring partner that you have for your math work cases and start making money on all of these cases that are just sitting right in your files for years and years and years.

You’re collecting clients every month and you have potential cases there, but you don’t even know it because you’re not searching.

So that’s how you should be using OTR.
