As most readers know, I write a column for NYC-based TechnoLawyer called SmallLaw (formerly known as, no joke, “Crazy Mazy”). Anyhow, as TechnoLawyer’s intrepid Chicago reporter I’ve written about the ABA TechShow since 2008; and before that for this blog.
Here are the 12 videos we shot at this year’s TechShow. Feel free to subscribe to my YouTube Channel for more legal tech news and check out my TechnoLawyer pieces as well.

OCR Terminal is an online application that converts
files into searchable, editable formats such as
Users can also choose to convert just part of a document.
The price for the service ranges from $.04 to $.09 per page (the more you use it the lower the cost per page). Up to 20 pages/month can be converted for free. The application is available for online use or can be downloaded for desktop use. Documents can be dragged and dropped into the desktop version of OCR Terminal and converted on the fly in about ½ the time it would take to convert using a conventional OCR application.
