Robert Ambrogi BlogElevator Pitch: LegalType is the world’s first adaptable SMART keyboard for lawyers and law students. It is also the World’s first highly customizable keyboard that eliminates repetitive tasks and is compatible with most European languages. Unlike existing legal keyboards, LegalType is available both as a programmable mechanical keyboard and as a software-only solution. We facilitate document assembly and automation, thereby delivering significant savings of time and money.
What makes you unique or innovative? Our first-to-market features include shortcuts for Word and Outlook, Unicode symbols (i.e., § ¶ Δ π © ® ™) and international and crypto currency symbols (i.e., ¥ € £ Ξ ₿). Our programmable firmware keyboard delivers automation in a few key presses. We add a layer of functionality to the keyboard without overriding the user’s default settings, which also makes it compatible with international keyboards. Lawyers have achieved improved efficiency, accuracy and savings with our innovative solution.
What problem do you solve? We deliver 20% savings on time, which translates to an excess of $100,000 per year for the average lawyer. Lawyers type three hours a day with keyboards that cost $5 or less. We provide a solution that is healthier and will ensure wrist integrity in the long term. And finally, we also provide ease and free time to lawyers. After all, who wants to spend extra time corresponding and redlining contracts?
