AI Redaction Software for Law Firms

AI Redaction Software for Law Firms That Defend Criminal Cases

Evidence Copilot turns your discovery dump — bodycam, jail calls, 911 audio, scanned reports — into timestamped, citable, redactable evidence with every AI answer tied to the exact source moment.

The Discovery Pile Is Winning — and Your Clients Pay for It

• Discovery Media Piles Up While Motion Deadlines Don't Move — Bodycam video, interrogation footage, 911 calls, and jail calls arrive as unsearchable files named X13qrt9__x3455 — and under new RAND standards limiting defenders to 47 felony cases per year, many practitioners carry far more. Every hour spent scrubbing raw footage is an hour not spent on the motion to suppress. A missed suppression deadline can jeopardize a client's freedom, and transcription vendors bill by the media-processing hour before review can even begin.
• Review Costs Eat the Defense Budget — Document and media review dominates litigation spend — e-discovery review accounts for 73% of total document production costs, with per-GB processing often running $25 to $75 before hosting and review are billed separately. For defense teams turning over redacted discovery, that means paying twice: once to review the evidence, and again to redact bystander faces, PII screens, and license plates before turnover.
• Redaction Workflows You Can't Defend to a Judge — Most redaction tools overwrite the source file or leave no record of what was changed — a serious problem when the court asks what happened to the original bodycam file, or when a bar-ethics question comes up about chain of custody. Defense-side redaction needs frame-accurate video edits, word-level audio muting, and an audit trail you can explain on the record.

Why Criminal-Defense Teams <span class="gradient">Choose Evidence Copilot</span>

• Cite the Moment, Not the Guess — Redact frame by frame, not by guesswork: drag a rectangle over a bystander's face or license plate in bodycam footage and export a blacked or blurred derived file. For audio, pick the exact spoken words in a jail call and that span is muted — no timestamp guessing. AI-suggested regions for victim, minor, and bystander faces, PII screens, and license plates arrive as suggestion cards marked 'AI-suggested — needs review'; nothing is ever auto-applied, so you approve or reject every single edit before turnover.
• Originals Never Touched — Every redaction produces a new derived file while the original stays immutable, and every action is audited. When the court or opposing counsel asks what happened to the source bodycam file, you can show the audit trail instead of reconstructing it from memory. AI output is always marked for human review and the product never makes legal conclusions — the workflow holds up under bar-ethics scrutiny.
• Published Pricing, No Sales Wall — Turn redacted evidence into a clean exhibit pack: a zip of video clips, still frames, and quoted excerpts plus a MANIFEST.md citation index your co-counsel can trace line by line. Exports are gated by per-member permission, so turnover stays controlled across the team.

What's included

• Redaction: drag a rectangle for frame-accurate video redaction (black or blur), pick exact spoken words to mute in audio, and redact images and PDFs — each redaction a new derived file with originals untouched and every action audited.
• AI-suggested redaction regions for bystander, victim, and minor faces, PII screens, and license plates file as suggestion cards marked 'AI-suggested — needs review'; nothing is auto-applied.
• Transcription with Deepgram Nova delivers speaker diarization and word-level timestamps, with one-click speaker renaming that propagates across every segment.
• The AI evidence agent does full-text search across transcripts and documents, grabs video frames, extracts clips, and writes notes, timeline events, and tasks — every answer carrying citations into the exact moment.
• Agent playbooks include Suppression Motion Prep (consent, search-scope, stop-duration, K-9, Miranda sweep), Miranda Timeline, and Exhibit List Builder — drafts with both sides quoted and cited.
• Exports produce an exhibit pack (zip of video clips, still frames, quoted excerpts plus a MANIFEST.md citation index) and review memo, gated by per-member export permission.

Quick wins

• Use the AI-suggested redaction cards for bystander faces, PII screens, and license plates to cut first-pass redaction time on bodycam batches — review and approve instead of drawing every rectangle from scratch.
• Pair redaction with the case brief and exhibit pack exports so discovery turnover, the citation manifest, and the redacted derived files come out of one workspace instead of three tools.

How it works

1. Forward Your Discovery — Upload by web or email the whole dump — bodycam, interrogation footage, 911 and jail calls, police reports, scanned exhibits — or email attachments to your per-case inbound address.
2. Review With Citations — Get diarized transcripts, OCR'd document text, and auto-signals flagging candidate inconsistencies like report-vs-bodycam. Ask the AI agent questions; every answer cites the exact second or page.
3. Redact and Export — Apply frame-accurate redactions, build the case brief and exhibit pack with a MANIFEST.md citation index, and turn out discovery turnover or suppression prep grounded in source.

What clients say

The redaction workflow is the first one I've used where I can actually explain to a judge what happened to the original file. Every edit is a new derived file, the original is untouched, and the audit trail is there when the court asks.

— Marcus Delgado

The AI-suggested face and license-plate regions come in as cards marked 'needs review' — nothing gets auto-applied. I approve or reject each one before discovery turnover, and I know exactly what I turned over and why.

— Priya Raghavan

I muted the exact spoken words in a jail call instead of guessing at timestamps, and the exhibit pack came out with a citation manifest my co-counsel could trace line by line.
