JusticeText is a video evidence management software that started with a mission of helping marginalized communities by empowering public defenders. It simplifies the video discovery process of a high volume of recorded evidence, including body cam footage and jail calls.
It has been pivotal to many attorneys and lawyers by helping them automatically transcribe, annotate, find, and share decisive evidence in court.
Although their mission is admirable, I have felt that JusticeText has been lagging in some aspects. It hasn’t always given me accurate transcription and it has crashed multiple times on me. And for some legal teams, their pricing model may not be ideal.
I explored & tried various tools similar to JusticeText so that you don’t have to. Below I’ve compiled my top 5 picks you might consider for your legal needs.
1. Reduct.Video
Reduct provides highly accurate transcriptions of all audio and video footage. With 96% accurate AI transcription in 90+ languages, it offers the most accurate transcripts on our list. Reduct also provides an option for 99% accurate human transcription at $1/min (compared to $1.90/min in JusticeText).
Reduct is built for all-sized legal teams, with features for collaborative searching, tagging, clipping, translating, redacting, and more. It also offers unlimited storage and can handle large volumes of recordings, a must-have for firms working with footage recorded 24-7, 365 days.
With Reduct, you can go from hours-long footage into court-admissible clips with no prior video editing experience. Therefore, if you primarily work with reviewing an overwhelming volume of recordings and don’t want to compromise on the transcription quality, Reduct is your go-to alternative.
Anyone who needs accurate transcription of large volume of audio & video evidence to find decisive moments.
