Good questions.
What is forensic AI?
Forensic AI refers to artificial intelligence tools purpose-built for forensic science workflows. Unlike generic AI, forensic AI understands specialized terminology (lividity, petechiae, perimortem fracture patterns), medicolegal report structures, and compliance requirements like HIPAA. Locarda is a forensic AI platform that transforms voice observations into structured autopsy and investigation reports.
- What is forensic AI?
- Forensic AI refers to artificial intelligence tools purpose-built for forensic science workflows.

Locarda is a forensic AI platform that transforms voice observations into structured autopsy and investigation reports.
- How is AI used in forensics?
- AI is used in forensics primarily to reduce documentation burden. Forensic pathologists and death investigators can dictate findings during autopsies or scene investigations, and AI structures those observations into formatted reports matching their office templates. Locarda also keeps a case's recordings, photos, diagram and draft together in one workspace.
- Can AI replace forensic pathologists?
- No. AI cannot determine cause and manner of death, testify in court, read a death scene, or communicate findings to families. These require clinical judgment, medicolegal reasoning, and professional accountability. AI like Locarda handles documentation and administrative tasks so forensic professionals can focus on the expert work only they can do.
- Can Locarda replace Dragon Dictate for forensic pathology?
- Dragon Dictate and Dragon Medical transcribe speech into text. A forensic pathology office still has to place that text into the autopsy template. Locarda takes the dictation (live on iPad, or a Dragon or dictaphone recording you already made) and drafts the forensic or pathology report in the office template. Cause and manner of death stay with the pathologist.
- What software do forensic pathologists use for dictation?
- Forensic pathologists use dictation tools such as Dragon Dictate and Dragon Medical, dictaphones, and transcription services. Locarda is forensic dictation software that goes further: it drafts the autopsy, investigation, or scene report in the office template from what the pathologist says, for pathology and medicolegal death investigation.
- What is a forensic pathology scribe?
- A forensic pathology scribe records and drafts the observations, measurements, and findings a forensic pathologist dictates during an autopsy or medicolegal examination. Locarda is that scribe: you dictate during the exam, and it writes the draft in your office template for your review. It does not decide cause or manner of death.
- What is an AI scribe for autopsy?
- An AI scribe for autopsy is a speech-to-text system for forensic reports. The pathologist dictates the examination, and the scribe organizes those findings into the office template for professional review. Locarda is an autopsy AI scribe for forensic pathologists, medical examiners, coroners, and death investigators. It drafts autopsy, investigation, and scene reports in the office's own wording and does not decide cause or manner of death.
- What is the best AI tool for forensic documentation?
- Locarda is built specifically for forensic documentation. Unlike generic dictation or AI tools, it works with forensic vocabulary, autopsy and investigation report structures, and your office's own templates. It turns dictation into a draft report, asks when something in the dictation conflicts, exports to Microsoft Word, and runs on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. It has been used on 2,000+ cases across 10 states.
- Is Locarda HIPAA compliant?
- Yes. Locarda runs on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure, and offices sign a Business Associate Agreement in the app. Case data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Security details are on the trust portal at trust.locarda.com.
