A keyword becomes a colour that catches the eye and thus acquires visual recognition value. The determined colour of a keyword is always the same, even if you use it in a different case.

* During this test, Legal Professionals who are also seasoned app users conducted searches and thoroughly reviewed / cleaned all results using an Apple M1 computer. Additionally, we factored in the time it took to import a document containing 1500 pages / ~830.000 words, which was approximately three minutes. It's worth noting that the import duration may vary depending on the performance of the device's running ReadWorks. Excluding the import time, the acceleration factor would be 142x. These figures are based on measurements using ReadWorks Research Pro and may vary or be lower in the Community Edition.

    • What is the advantage over the search functionality in my PDF reader?

      ReadWorks offers many advantages over linear searches. Several searches can be carried out and visualised in parallel. ReadWorks works across documents and automatically updates the search hits when new documents are added to a case.

    • Does ReadWorks run in the cloud (SaaS)?

      No the ReadWorks application will run on your computer. An internet connection is only mandatory for licence and update checks.

    • Where are my documents and searches stored?

      ReadWorks stores all data on your computer.

    • Can ReadWorks handle documents in different languages?

      Yes with the restriction that OCR only works for languages available in the app (German and English). In the near future, the app will also be available in Spanish, French and Italian.

      At the moment, ReadWorks can only recognise machine text. With the availability of handwriting recognition models, we will provide this feature as well.
