Do You Still Stamp Bates Manually?
One day I saw a handful of documents bates-stamped by hand, and I can't find a better term to describe the feeling I had at the moment than 'gut-wrenching' (thank God I didn't see the guy doing it, since, I'm afraid, I would faint right there!). Everyone knows this is entirely obsolete. However, believe it or not, hand-stamping is still being practiced. There are several reasons why this is sheer frustration to me and most other guys I Know.
To start with, there is hardly a duller or more time-taking work in the whole world than bates stamping documents by hand. There is hardly a hope that a paralegal assigned to bates-stamp a pack of documents won't break down in about an hour, to say nothing of deadlines. Besides, few customers would agree to pay for the extra time required for bates-stamping.
Well, how long should it take for a paralegal to bates-stamp 500 documents by hand? How long will it take him/her but to scan them? Altogether, a paralegal is going to have to spend the whole workday doing just that. Why ruin your mood and health doing this tedious work, while there is Bates Express available at an affordable price, by aid of which you can pull it off in seconds???
This utility saves you a lot of trouble. To begin with, there is no strain on your mind, so you won't get exhausted. You can fit page size as required, see the area for the bates-stamp to be applied and edit the text and the bates number. Even if you miss a point, you can cancel the action any time and do it again.
Bates Express features an option, which allows you bates-stamp and, most important, convert your documents to PDF, TIFF, TXT, RTF. The verdict is - you can go the harm's way or you can go the right way. Once again, one thing that really drives me nuts is the fact that there are still lots of firms and lawyers whose employees have to face the mind-numbing routine of doing it by hand. Unfortunately, all I can do is express my deepest and most sincere compassion to these guys.
