Accelerate OCR-heavy review completion times

Document work often becomes least predictable where the underlying material is least structured.

Faster throughput has to coexist with careful handling of difficult source files and shared capacity.

These aren’t optional attachments—when the scans lag, the whole review plan slips.

Zin Wibowo · Corporate Counsel, M&A

Reviews scanned schedules and diligence exhibits before deal-team deadlines.

What pulls against what

  • OCR recovery vs. processing time
  • shared capacity vs. urgent review work
  • representative testing vs. sensitive data controls
  • quick offload vs. system learning

What is at stake

Slow scanned-document processing delays downstream legal review. The solution must improve throughput without shifting pain to other interactive work

Why Harvey

At Harvey, this matters because legal teams often bring uneven real-world records into otherwise repeatable workflows.

This is the setup. The work is inside.

Running it puts you in the room: the full situation and its constraints, stakeholders who push back in their own words, and the decisions that are yours to make. What you produce becomes a Day One Plan — work you can show someone instead of describing.
