Many medicolegal offices rely on dictation software for documentation. You speak, it transcribes—and then you spend time structuring, formatting, and editing. Locarda takes a different approach.
Conversational documentation, not dictation
Dictation tools give you verbatim transcription. You dictate word-for-word, add punctuation yourself, and then organize everything into sections. Locarda is built around a different idea: conversational documentation. You describe what you observe; the AI turns those observations into structured, template-ready reports.
Dictation vs. generative AI
Traditional dictation is speech-to-text only. You say "ecchymosis over the left lateral chest wall" and you get exactly that—a line of text. You still need to place it in the right section, match your template, and fill in the gaps. The tool transcribes; everything else is on you.
Locarda is built differently. You describe what you observe. The AI drafts the report, applies your template, and surfaces suggestions. Instead of a raw transcript, you get a working draft. One input, complete output.
Evidence synthesis and an all-in-one workspace
Dictation software usually lives in a single step: capture audio, produce text. Locarda aggregates evidence across your workflow—medical records, scene narratives, toxicology reports, diagrams, and images—into one workspace. The AI can connect transcriptions to other case sources and help you see how they fit together.
- All-in-one: Scene investigation and autopsy documentation in a single, connected workspace
- Know what's missing: Clear visibility into incomplete sections and required content
- Template compatibility: Universal support for your organization's templates and guidelines
Privacy and Word integration
Voice recordings stay on your device and are never transmitted to our servers. Transcriptions and reports are processed in a HIPAA-compliant environment. For final editing, you can import cases directly into Word and use AI-assisted paraphrase tools without leaving your familiar workflow.
"Task automation is not job automation. AI assists with your work—it doesn't replace the expert."
Task automation, not job automation
Locarda is designed to reduce repetitive, manual steps—structuring, formatting, aggregating—so you can focus on investigation, analysis, and judgment. The goal is to save time for what matters: advocacy, teaching, research, and deeper case work.
