How Rev Helps Criminal Defense Teams Review Evidence (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Hey there. Let's take five minutes to review how Rev fits into criminal defense workflows and helps you better advocate for your clients. When you log into Rev, you'll see the home screen. This is where you can drop files, upload zip folders, and easily access other areas of the workflow, like our human transcription service. That'll ensure that you get the highest quality transcripts should you need to take them into court or produce them as exhibits. Rev supports a large number of file types. We support audio, video, in addition to PDFs, Word documents, and text files. It's really easy to organize your files on Rev. All of our attorneys typically create their own workspaces and their teams can collaborate within it. So that way, privilege stays with the attorney, but all those floating resources are still available to you. Accessing the files is really easy. You just need to select your attorney's workspace, find your case folder, and click into it. And that's where all the case evidence will live. This is where your team can sort through, collaborate, and start to really find the facts that establish the foundation for your strategy going into court and how you're going to best defend your client. When an audio or video file is uploaded into Rev, we'll automatically transcribe it, instantly making it searchable, so that way you can begin your analysis and start to put the pieces together. When clicking on that file, it takes you directly into the transcription editor. In the editor, you will have the video recording that you can scrub through in addition to the custom summaries that we will work with you to build. So that way, it's identifying facts that are relevant to what you're looking for and help you just, at a bird's eye view, understand what happened within that piece of evidence. Think of these summaries as a great cookie cutter approach, and when you're looking to dive into further details about specific topics, that's where you can explore and interrogate the transcript further using our AI chat. All of our AI components are solely focused on the file. It's not reaching out to any of the dark corners of the internet to find additional context, and any facts that it pulls are cited directly to the transcript. Clicking on any one of those citations will jump you directly into the transcript itself, where you can follow along with what's being said. You can make adjustments to it. You can adjust speaker names, and as you find those key facts, highlight important components so that way your team can get them in front of you and then you'll be able to make the decisions as to what's really material to the case. When you've found or decided on what's really material, you can easily clip any piece of audio so that way you can create exhibits and take those into court. It's really simple, just highlight the text, right-click, and hit save clip or download clip. Once a clip's saved, all of the clips are organized over here on the right-hand side, and you can easily navigate to them and download them at any moment. If your team is working over these files and they find something really important, they can easily share the transcript with you as an attorney at any point in time so that way they can get your eyes on exactly what they're looking at. You won't have to comb through the entire transcript yourself. Although we always recommend that you leave no stone unturned, this is not a substitution for your manual review or should replace your judgment in any way. As you begin to work through your case, it's really important to understand where the gaps are, where the inconsistencies lie, and for that we've developed a multi-file analysis feature. It's really easy to do. All you have to do is select the files from the system and then hit this insights button. What this does is it takes you into a chat GPT-like interface where you can begin to ask questions like identify where the inconsistencies are. Now it's solely focused on the files that you selected, and this is really important. You need to be able to control where your focus is and what facts you want the LLM to find. And as it starts to produce responses, you'll notice that every fact is cited back to the source. By clicking on these citations, it takes you to that file so that way you can easily review the facts that were pulled and where the truth really lies. Now control is extremely important because at any point in time the LLM could be biased towards one piece of evidence or another. So being able to select or deselect where it focuses and what it uses as context will help make sure that you're able to combat those situations. That's why citations are really, really critical to the work that you do and should always be reviewed thoroughly to make sure that you are not being misguided or biased towards a specific narrative so you can best support or advocate for your client. Any files that you upload into Rev are secure and maintain client confidentiality. We're SOC 2 type 2 compliant, which means every year we go through an audit to prove that your data is secure. We also have very strict data training policies. Your data stays your own and we won't sell your data to any other third-party services. We're also HIPAA compliant and CJIS compliant.
