WHICH SEARCH ENGINE TO USE?

Although Experian Hitwise reported in their recent survey of 10 million Internet users that Google's share of all searches in July 2011 was 66 percent while Yahoo and Bing accounted for 14.49 percent and 13.19 percent of all searches. Both Bing and Yahoo had better search success rates. Over 81% of Yahoo's searches and over 80% of Bing's resulted in a visit to a web page, while only about 67% of Google's searches resulted in a page visit. A search engines' success rate is a critical measure of how well a search engine is doing its job. Google may be big, but it may not be the best choice for busy legal professionals.

Many companies have tried to perfect speech recognition technology with the results being less than perfect. Most have announced their new "Promising" products with much fanfare and bold statements of how they where about to change the future. Now Visionary Legal Technologies is set to introduce their Visionary Speech Transcript (VST) tools at their Expo 2011 event in Dallas on May 21, 2011. Information is sketchy at this time but their web site boasts, "Now, experts are saying that Digital Reporting and Voice Recognition for this industry is still years off. But, they don't know what we know! We have nailed it! We have the tools and are ready to change the industry ...." They appear to be claiming that VST, when used in conjunction with their Visionary Digital Recorder (VDR), will produce a transcript. They even invite videographers to handle "reporting for events outside the standard deposition work." But they seem to back off their "We have nailed it" claim by saying at the end of their web page that what this software really produces is a rough draft and not a final transcript. Since the term rough draft is subject to many opinions, you have to ask - How rough a draft? Have they really overcome the problems of Speech Recognition that have plagued other speech recognition products, such as speech patterns, speed, and regional dialects, for example? Obviously, these questions will be answered with the release of their new product. Contact Visionary Legal Technologies for more information.

Metadata removal, A serious concern for law firms is the risk of the unintended disclosure of metadata. Metadata refers to any data that may be hidden or not visible on the printed page, such as bookmarks, annotations or attachments. The new metadata removal tool checks for hidden metadata in legal documents, scans the PDF file for specified types of hidden content, provides a list of what it found, and then allows you to easily remove some or all of that content before you publish the document.
Bates Numbering (a method of applying identifying labels to a set of related documents). Each page in each document is assigned a sequential Bates number that uniquely identifies it while also establishing its relationship to other Bates-numbered pages. A Bates number appears as a header or footer on each page of each document. Acrobat 9 Professional makes it easy to apply Bates numbers to a set of PDF documents. Simply browse and choose the set of PDF files, and then specify the appearance of the Bates number on each page, including size/style, leading zeros, starting page number, prefix, and suffix. It will apply the Bates numbers in sequential order to all pages of all documents. It even allows you to resize page content so that the Bates numbering doesn’t overwrite content.
