Veritone Unveils Veritone Illuminate to Accelerate Early Case Assessment of Unstructured Data for Legal Teams

AI-Powered Application Enables Legal Teams to Assess Audio, Video and Text-Based Documents at the Top of the Case Funnel to Drive Efficiency, Time and Cost Savings

Veritone Inc., the creator of the world’s first operating system for artificial intelligence (AI), aiWARE™, announced Veritone Illuminate, an AI-powered solution that enables legal teams to cost-effectively search, analyze, cull and explore large amounts of audio, video and text-based evidence during the early case assessment (ECA) process, prior to full eDiscovery review.

“In our experience, one of the biggest challenges of eDiscovery is the sheer volume of material that has to be processed. It can be difficult enough to plow through high numbers of emails and documents, but the increased volume of audio and video files being created and stored today has made the challenge all the more difficult,” said Alan Pelz-Sharpe, Founder, Deep Analysis. “Many organizations find it cumbersome and expensive to move all of the audio and video files, often via a managed service provider, to an eDiscovery platform. Until now there has been little option to do so, but with Veritone’s new Illuminate product users can now pinpoint and interrogate elements and concepts in large amounts of audio, video and text, at scale, much earlier in the process than was previously feasible.”

Veritone Illuminate automatically transcribes and translates unstructured data, including audio, video and text-based electronically stored information (ESI). This makes the data easily searchable, while providing text analytics capabilities that allow legal teams to visually explore entities, such as the persons, organizations and locations identified in the ESI, early in the discovery process. The result is a boon for eDiscovery teams looking to analyze and cull large volumes of unstructured evidentiary media before uploading them for full eDiscovery review, to minimize costs.

“We are thrilled to add Veritone Illuminate to our suite of legal and compliance solutions,” said Chris Ricciuti, Vice President of Product Management for Legal & Compliance at Veritone. “This new app allows legal professionals to use robust search and text analytics capabilities to interrogate media files and streams at scale, earlier in the case lifecycle than ever before. In litigation, it is typical to have terabytes of information that must be reviewed and processed. Veritone Illuminate can swiftly analyze massive volumes of audio, video and text-based data and surface actionable insight for eDiscovery teams, greatly minimizing the volume of data to be reviewed, its associated costs, and also assisting teams in managing their legal risk.”
