The new system for revision of the document is a prototype developed by scientists at Xerox Research Centre Europe in Grenoble, France. If it turns into a product, it could help the masses for workers who have sieve stacks of documents and work as they do. The beneficiaries are lawyers, financial wizards legal trainees committed Government, sinister, medical assistants, Office workers and others. It reminds us that, for all the talk of a "paperless office", computers not brought too innovation through the process of screening through documents. It is nice to see some innovation that can take the drudgery of much of the information era jobs.
The researchers that you can use the system to find, open, sort and move thousands of documents with the touch of your finger. This means that you can sort millions of documents in hours instead of weeks. As you can see in the video promo of Xerox, table-top display lets users move documents with their fingers, as with a touch screen of the iPhone or smartphone. Only this screen is approximately 150 times larger, so that people can work together for him.
Documents can be placed side by side, scale up or down or stacked in a corner of a table, just as they may be on a real desktop. If you point to a number of relevant documents, the system learns what you are looking for and can provide similar, even if it means massive document search. Which can be very helpful for the process of discovery as lawyers research's electronic documents for a memo "smoking gun".
"When you consider the large number of documents involved in litigation, patent research, the Government's security and intelligence analyst reports, it is easy to understand how some review efforts involve millions of documents,"said Caroline Privault, head of research centre project. "We believe that a tool such as this will have a major impact on the cost, accuracy and speed of examination of documents".
The system builds on the already introduced Xerox technology called CategoriX, which is currently used in services contentieux Xerox for legal discovery. It uses a touchscreen table Labsform PQ. The prototype is tested in pilot customers become available commercially.
