From a new case's first evidence to a plan in minutes or hours
Evidence Hound reads the first evidence in a new case, every document and every recording, and lays it all on one timeline, so litigators can size up the case in minutes or hours instead of days or weeks.
Open a matter and add what you have
Describe the case in your own words, then upload the evidence as it came: the client's files, records requests, early disclosures. Folders, archives and email exports are fine, password-protected ones too.
Evidence Hound prepares every file
It scans each upload for malware, unpacks archives, reads scanned pages, transcribes recordings and sets duplicates aside.
Start from a map, not a pile
Read the first memo, walk the timeline, and ask questions. Every answer links back to the page or the moment it came from.
Files it reads
Evidence rarely arrives tidy. It takes it as it comes.
- PDFs, including scans, read by OCR in English and Spanish
- Word documents, shown as they look in Word
- Email: EML, MSG and MBOX archives, attachments included
- Photos, including iPhone HEIC
- ZIP, RAR, 7z and TAR archives, password-protected ones too
- Audio and video in common formats
- Exact duplicates and repeated emails set aside, not deleted
Recordings
Hours of footage is where cases hide their best facts.
- A transcript for every recording
- Play several body cams, phone videos and audio files together, in sync
- Search the transcripts and jump to the second you need
- Mark moments and attach notes to them
The chronology
Put everything on one clock and the story starts to tell itself.
- Documents, messages and recordings on one timeline
- Overlapping recordings grouped so you can see who saw what
- Filter the timeline down to what you are working on
The first memo
A starting point for the case conversation, written in minutes or hours, not days or weeks.
- Facts, open questions and issues worth a closer look
- Steer it: tell it which theory to test or which evidence to scrutinize
- Takes a hard look at the other side's evidence
- Every quote checked against its source file before you see it
- No invented citations and no deadline calculations
Ask the matter
Questions in plain English, answered only from this matter's files.
- Find the moment someone said something in hours of video
- Look up people, documents and dates without leaving the page
- Suggested changes, like new tags or notes, wait for your OK
Working as a team
Everyone on the case works from the same organized record.
- Tags, key-document flags, notes and notes pinned to a page or moment
- Bring in co-counsel and choose which notes they see
- Notifications by email or in the app, as often as each person wants
