I cut the binding off of one of my west forms books and scanned 1000 pages in about 5 hours
by the weekend, every form in that book will be a web form. fuck you, thomson reuters.

also, i'm running it on linux, which fujitsu doesn't support.
it took me two days to get scanbuttond to work, but i realized that clicking the button is too much work. now, as soon as i put something into the scanner tray, it automatically scans at 600 dpi. i have an imagemagick script that deskews it, finds the content, converts it to black white, and creates pdf output.

Awesome.
I'm thinking of soloing, and a kickass scanner is something that is at the top of the list of things I would get.
Now, I'm a linuxmo as well but wouldn't it be worth attaching this to a Windows machine?

no, absolutely not. I actually installed a bootleg copy of windows 7 in virtualbox to initially get the software to run just so i could intercept the USB commands using wireshark on my desktop. it was a pain in the ass to debug SANE and scanbuttond.
the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 is the best scanner i've ever used. it will scan both sides of a page in about 4 seconds at 600 dpi, about 2 seconds at 300 dpi. imagemagick is literally the best tool you can be using for image conversion, but i'm not that good at it yet. for now, i'm using http://scantailor.org/ (the cli version) and then converting to a pdf. i scan about 100 pages at a time, then combine the pdfs.
here's example output from the florida forms: https://i.imgur.com/XSkjire.png
if you know anything about west's publications, you'll realize that the background color isn't white and the contrast isn't nearly that good. this can be ocr'd very easily.

LOL, that's exactly the kind of bullshit I'd be looking to avoid. I'd personally just put up with windows instead of having to hack thing like this. Good for you though.
Imagemagick is sick, it would take a lot to become a masterman at it.
I've successfully used Hugin to stitch scans together that are larger than the scanner platen. I was doing it manually though, not sure if there is an easy way to automate it.

it turns out that scanbd and sane work out of the box. you just have to be 100% certain your udev permissions are correct.
here's my /etc/udev/rules.d/40-saned file:
SUBSYSTEM!=usb_device, ACTION!=add, GOTO=libsane_early_rules_end
ATTRS{idVendor}==04c5, ATTRS{idProduct}==132b, MODE=0664, GROUP=scanner, OPTIONS+=last_rule, ENV{libsane_matched}=yes
LABEL=libsane_early_rules_end
there are a couple good guides online, if you're running debian. using the button on the scanner is bullshit; just configure it to start scanning when you load paper into the feeder

considering this is all open source, absolutely. my goal is to eventually create a market for the tech people to install maintain these types of systems. the legal sector shouldn't rely on bullshit proprietary software -- why should we trust lexisnexis, west, google, dropbox, amazon, and apple with our clients' data??
when i was in grad school, i remember asking my computer security professor whether he thought google would take advantage of useful information it gleans from the e-mails of biglawyers.
google certainly has the potential to develop deep learning algorithms that target precisely this type of info -- m&a shit, stuff that can actually affect stock prices. i doubt it'd even qualify as insider trading, because by using google's services, you give them the right to use your info to improve their services (which improving shareholder value surely accomplishes).
my prof just kind of stared at me and said "perhaps" before moving on to another topic.

In the three years since making this thread, I've vastly improved the software I've written to manage my law practice. I have thousands of forms and sample motions and wrote a library to automate the generation of routine pleadings. I draft the more complicated motions in markdown alongside my research notes and run a python script that renders it into LaTeX based on the document- and case-specific configuration files. The config files are written in YAML and specify case-specific stuff (party names, case number, courthouse, judge, judicial assistant, etc.) and document-specific stuff (title, spacing, header/footer contents, draft mode, etc.).
The next big step in development will be creating a web interface for support staff to use. I just haven't had much time to do the front-end crap, but it's becoming necessary since I'm starting to forget some of the command line tools I developed years ago. The web interface would eliminate the need for configuration files, because that information will be stored in the database rather than in config files.
