Option 1: Subtle Mention (Least Disruptive)

• Placement: Within a general "Updates to Terms" or "Legal Notices" section.
• Text: "To ensure the accuracy and integrity of our Terms and Conditions, we employ advanced text recognition technology (OCR) for archiving and version control. This helps us maintain a complete and verifiable history of updates to these terms."
• Rationale: This is the safest option. It mentions OCR without making it the central focus. It subtly reinforces the idea that your T&Cs are well-managed and secure.
• Technical Implementation: Minimal. Just a sentence added to an existing section.

Option 2: Version History with OCR Display (Moderate Integration)

• Placement: Dedicated "Version History" or "Terms Archive" section.
• Layout: Display a table with the following columns: Date, Version Number, Summary of Changes, [Link to Archived T&C (OCR'd)].
• Description: “We believe in transparency. Below is a complete version history of our Terms and Conditions. Each archived version is digitally preserved using text recognition technology (OCR), allowing you to view the original document and verify its content. Click on a version to view the OCR’d document.”
• Technical Implementation: Requires creating a database or system to store and link to the OCR’d versions of your T&Cs. You're essentially presenting a searchable archive.
• Visuals: Clean, organized table design. Easy navigation between versions.
• User Experience: Prioritize clear labeling and straightforward access to the archived documents.

Option 3: Dynamic Display of Changes (Most Integrated - Requires Significant Development)

• Concept: Display a "diff" (difference) view between the current version of the T&Cs and previous versions. The “diff” view would visually highlight additions and deletions, presented alongside the OCR'd text of the older version.
• Description: “See how our Terms and Conditions have evolved over time. This interactive tool compares the current version with previous iterations, visually highlighting the changes made. Each archived version is preserved using text recognition technology, ensuring accuracy and verifiability.”
• Technical Implementation: Extremely complex. Requires implementing a "diff" algorithm, integrating it with the OCR’d text, and creating a user-friendly interface.
• User Experience: Requires careful design to avoid overwhelming users. Clear explanations and visual cues are essential.
• Impact: Most engaging and demonstrative of your OCR capabilities, but also the most technically challenging.

Key Considerations for ALL Options:

• OCR Accuracy is Paramount: Poor OCR will damage your credibility.
• Legal Review is Essential: This is crucially important. Your legal team must review any changes to your T&Cs, especially those involving OCR and archived versions.
• Accessibility: Ensure archived versions are accessible to users with disabilities (e.g., provide alternative formats).
• Maintenance: Archived versions need to be maintained and kept up-to-date.
• User Education: Explain to users why you are doing this and how it benefits them.
