Customer Challenges

As a juvenile defense attorney, Anderson found himself drowning in digital evidence while his young clients waited behind bars.

  • Evidence overload: Anderson faced hours of body cam footage per case while young clients sat in detention. "A lot of police departments use body cam now, and if there's four officers responding to a situation that's four sets of body cam that I'm getting."
  • Time-intensive decisions: With only hours to prepare for bail hearings, Anderson faced an impossible choice: delay while clients remained locked up, or enter court unprepared.
  • Manual processing limitations: Had to guess which evidence mattered and prepare clips in advance. When officers changed their testimony, responding in real-time was extremely challenging.

Solutions

Rev became Anderson's game-changing ally, transforming how he could advocate for his clients.

  • AI-powered transcription: "I now upload that information into Rev and I get a transcript and it makes it so much easier to process that information."
  • Intelligent search capabilities: "I can ask [my transcript] questions so I can have a conversation with the transcript and basically find out like, hey, how many times is my client's name mentioned? And if my client's name doesn't come up, I can almost skip portions of the body cam."
  • Hyperlinked transcripts for real-time courtroom use: "Rev is able to do with the transcript is it marks the time. So I can literally, if I download a transcript of it, it'll come with a hyperlink to the audio for that time."

The Impact

  • 94% time reduction freed Anderson to actually practice law: "If there's four hours of body cam, [it] can be condensed down into 15 really important minutes... I save myself at least three hours of time."
  • Same-day freedom became reality: "I don't need three hours or days to review this video. I'm going to be ready in a half hour to make a bail argument."
  • Realtime evidence playback was key: "[For example] I don't have to anticipate where the officer is going to stray. I can just do it in real time in 30 seconds. You play the audio for them and they're like, oh, that's my voice. I guess I did say the sky was blue when I arrested your client."
  • Financial impact validated the mission: "I would say easily [I've saved] thousands [of dollars with Rev]. It took me one upload of Body Cam from a case to be like, oh, this is a bargain for the amount of value that I'm getting."
