OCR That Keeps Privileged Documents on Your Machine

Your clients trust you with their most sensitive files. DocReader processes every document locally, so privileged material, confidential correspondence, and case files never leave your desk or touch an outside server.

● No Cloud Processing ● Attorney-Client Privilege Intact ● From $199/year

Convenience Is Not the Same as Control

Law offices handle some of the most sensitive documents in any profession. Client correspondence, signed agreements, discovery files, exhibits, handwritten notes, scanned records, and intake materials all need to be processed quickly, reviewed carefully, and stored with confidence.

OCR is now a basic part of that workflow. The question is not whether documents need to be made searchable. The question is where that processing happens.

Cloud tools are convenient. But convenience means your client's signed declaration is traveling through infrastructure you don't own, managed by a vendor whose internal data handling policies you probably haven't read past page two. Even if they promise encryption and deletion, the file still left your custody. Try explaining that distinction to a client whose privileged communications ended up in a breach notification.

A local OCR workflow eliminates that conversation entirely. Files are processed on the machine sitting in your office. Review stays local. Output stays under firm control. No routing sensitive client material through a third-party system just to make a PDF searchable.

For firms that take confidentiality seriously, and not just as a line in the engagement letter, that difference matters.

Documents Your Firm Handles Every Day

DocReader reads through poor scans, faded text, watermarks, and complex layouts that general-purpose OCR tools struggle with.

Built for the Way Law Firms Need to Work

Zero Telemetry

No usage tracking, no analytics, no crash reports, no background connections. After initial setup, the application makes zero network requests.

Privilege Stays Intact

Because no document content ever leaves your machine, attorney-client privilege is never at risk from the OCR process itself.
