The wireless network dropped this afternoon, so I’m resuming the blogging, now not-quite-so-live (!) after a nice Zen AJBM dinner…
[this post is one of a series covering the Leg@l IT Conference [1]]
Me Jean L. Beauchamp presented “Les outils de l’avenir… dès aujourd’hui”. His presentation consisted mainly in an overview of suggested tools for the small paperless law office, including:
- Scanning: VRS – Virtual ReScan [2]
- PDF: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro [3]: to create, combine, collaborate, collect and control
- Telephony: Skype [4], using the Linksys IP telephone
- File Management: Filecenter [5] (available in French)
- Outlook synchronization in small office without MS Exchange: SynchPst [6]
- Dictation: Philips Pocket Memo 9600 [7]
- Voice recognition: Dragon Naturally Speaking [8], Pro Legal version (note: in a question and comment, Dominic Jaar recommended the preferred version because the added cost of the pro legal version was not worth the differences in features)
- Document Viewer: Rack2-filer [9]
His reference to a Nature article, titled “Ink for Electronic Paper”, was also intriguing so I checked it out [10]. Progress never stops!
