Reduct

Reduct.Video is a transcript-based video and audio evidence management platform used primarily by criminal defense attorneys and public defender offices. When a defender receives 200 hours of body-cam footage, police interview recordings, jail calls, and 911 audio in discovery, Reduct transcribes the audio (94% AI accuracy per vendor’s own benchmark — users note it’s ‘not perfect but constantly improving’), lets attorneys search the transcript like a text document, highlight key moments, redact faces and PII, and clip exhibits for court — all without video editing skills. Over 1,000 staff at the Colorado State Public Defender office rely on Reduct daily. Founded 2017 in San Francisco by Prabhas Pokharel (Stanford d.school). $4M seed (2021) led by Greylock with South Park Commons and Figma CEO Dylan Field. Small team (~12 employees). SOC 2 Type II certified. HIPAA compliant. Runs on Google Cloud. 90+ language transcription with translation. Synced multicam view for simultaneous body cameras. Pricing published and accessible: $15/mo personal (10hr included), $40/mo professional (ideal for small firms per vendor), $75/editor/mo enterprise (600hr/year pooled), $0.25/min utilization-based, $500/case. Pro bono program for qualifying PD offices. UC Berkeley Criminal Law Center lists it as a recommended AI tool for public defenders. Strong organic Reddit presence in r/publicdefenders (8+ threads, 2024-2026, all positive). No documented use in civil litigation, corporate, or in-house legal contexts — all case studies and practitioner evidence are criminal defense/public defense.
