Used across eight U.S. jurisdictions to support forensic professionals—and counting.
Locarda Companion
Locarda learns how you write. Your phrasing, your ordering, the habits you never had to explain. Then it writes that way inside the format your office requires.
Drop in the .docx your office has used for years, plus a few of your own finished reports. Locarda picks up your personal phrasing on top of the office standard.
Talk the way you already talk. Locarda quietly removes what does not belong in the report, then writes complete sentences in your format.
A complete, editable Word document in your format. Companion reads it back against your dictation, flags conflicts like laterality, and asks you to confirm before export.
Every person gets their own preferences. The office keeps one standard.
uh heart’s about 420 grams, coronaries have mild narrowing, um no thrombosis, valves look fine.
liver, you know around 1650, capsule smooth, nothing focal, gallbladder’s fine.
lungs, left one’s 610 grams, heavy and congested, right is 480. uh wait—right one’s 610, left is 480. yeah the right lung is the heavy congested one, pleural surfaces smooth.
Confirm laterality
In dictation, 610 g was assigned to the left lung, then to the right lung. Which should the report use?
left lung … 610 g / right lung … 480 g
right lung … 610 g / left lung … 480 g
Confirm right lung 610 gResolved. Ready to export.

Locarda Investigator
Gloves on, flashlight in the other hand. Speak what you see — and tell Locarda what to do. Narrative goes in the form. Commands like “take a picture” stay out of it.
Drop in the scene form your office already uses. Locarda maps narrative, postmortem, notification, and photo fields the way your county writes them.
On your phone at the scene: talk what you see into the running narrative. Say “take a picture” when you need a photo — hands stay on the flashlight.
Companion reads the narrative back against what you said, catches slips, and proposes a fix. Approve it, then download the scene narrative or copy it all into your office system.
Locarda tells the difference between what you observed and what you asked it to do.
