Verdict at a glance

Recommended for

Litigation teams reviewing large volumes of recorded video and audio discovery, especially multi-angle footage.

Bottom line

A strong pick for litigation teams that review a lot of recorded video and want clips for trial. Choose Professional for multicam and redaction, add reviewers as free commenters, and watch your annual hour pool.

A transcript-first video and audio review platform: transcribe recordings, search them, clip and caption moments by selecting text, sync multiple camera angles and redact PII. Published per-editor pricing ($12 Personal, $40 Professional, Enterprise from $75) with transcription hours pooled per year. Multicam and redaction need Professional, and it isn't a court-reporting service.

Not for

Anyone needing certified deposition transcripts, or a legal-only tool.

Pricing from

Personal $12/editor/month; Professional $40; Enterprise from $75; annual billing saves 20% (reduct.video/pricing, checked 2026-10-15)

Pros

  • Published per-editor pricing with pooled annual transcription hours (reduct.video/pricing)
  • Clip and caption moments by selecting transcript text (reduct.video)
  • Multicam sync and PII redaction on Professional and up (reduct.video)
  • Free commenter seats for co-counsel, experts or investigators (reduct.video/pricing)

Cons

  • Hour pool is annual, so a big early production can drain it
  • Multicam and redaction not on Personal
  • Terms of service page didn't render for review
  • Not legal-specific; also serves research and marketing

Quick answer

Bottom line: Reduct fits litigation teams that review a lot of recorded video and audio, especially footage from several cameras. Pricing is published per editor: $12 (Personal), $40 (Professional) and from $75 (Enterprise) per editor per month, vendor claims checked October 15, 2026. Whether the $12 and $40 figures are monthly or annual-billing prices isn't clear from the page, so confirm with Reduct. There's a 14-day free trial with Professional features and 5 hours of transcription. Watch two things: transcription hours are pooled per year across all editors, so one big production can drain them early, and multicam is only on the $40 Professional plan. Ask Reduct for the full terms in writing before you sign.

Reduct is a transcript-based platform for video and audio. Upload recordings, get transcripts, search across them, and clip and caption moments by selecting text. Professional adds multicam sync, so you can watch several camera angles side by side, and Reduct's site lists PII redaction (removing personal details such as names and faces) on Professional and up. Pricing is published per editor: Personal $12, Professional $40, Enterprise from $75 per editor per month, with annual billing saving 20%. Each editor adds a block of transcription hours to a pool that resets yearly, and commenters are free. It isn't a court-reporting service, so it doesn't replace certified deposition transcripts.

We built this review from Reduct's own website, pricing page and security page, plus our overall reading of public user feedback. Everything was checked October 15, 2026. Prices and features are vendor claims and change, so confirm with Reduct.

What does Reduct actually do?#

Reduct treats every recording as a document. Per its site:

  • Transcription and translation of audio and video, searchable across a project.
  • Text-based clipping: highlight transcript text to pull the matching clip, then export captioned clips or reels for trial or a mediation presentation.
  • Timeline view and multicam sync for footage from several sources at once (Professional and Enterprise).
  • Redaction of PII such as names and faces (Professional and Enterprise).
  • Legal-formatted transcript export as TXT and PDF, which Reduct says is compatible with most federal and state courts.
  • Document upload (PDFs, Word, spreadsheets) made searchable alongside media, on Enterprise.

Reduct's legal page targets recorded discovery: body-worn and dash cam, interviews and interrogations, surveillance video, recorded calls and cell-phone video. It claims "zero third-party data training." Reduct also sells to researchers, marketers and educators.

What this means for you: if your case turns on what's in hours of video, Reduct lets you find it by searching words and hand the clip to your trial team.

The pricing page has a monthly/annual toggle and says annual billing saves 20%. It isn't clear whether the $12 and $40 figures are monthly or annual-billing prices, so confirm with Reduct which one your quote uses.

How the hour pool works: each editor adds hours to one shared pool for the year, not per month. For example, five Professional editors would share 1,500 hours.

What this means for you: a large discovery production early in the year can use up most of the pool, so budget for your biggest expected production. Past the pool, transcription is charged per minute, and Reduct says the app asks you to confirm the cost first. A HIPAA-compliant transcription option and custom quotas are available through sales.

Is Reduct secure enough for discovery?#

Reduct's site says it holds a SOC 2 Type II report (shared on request, with the full report on Enterprise), offers a GDPR data processing agreement, and supports HIPAA-compliant transcription through sales. Enterprise adds SSO, domain-gated sharing and a signed MSA with an SLA.

Check any protective order before uploading discovery to a cloud platform, and make sure your agreement covers retention and deletion.

How hard is Reduct to set up?#

Low. Sign up, upload and start reading. Plan which matters go in which workspace, and decide who's an editor and who's a commenter. Enterprise SSO takes coordination with IT.

Does Reduct replace a court reporter?#

No. Reduct exports legal-formatted transcripts, but they aren't certified. Use it to review and clip recordings. Keep the court reporter's certified transcript for depositions and the record, and check any transcript quote against the audio before you use it.

What do users say about Reduct?#

We read public user feedback and looked for patterns.

In short, the feedback we found is limited but positive on accuracy and multi-angle review; the main reason teams pick something else is convenience, not quality.

What users like. Transcript accuracy, the side-by-side view of multiple camera angles, and how quickly you can go from a search hit to a captioned clip.

What frustrates them. Some teams choose the platform where opposing parties already share footage, to avoid moving files around. Others want a tool built only for legal work.

Buyer tips before you sign#

  1. Choose Professional if you need multicam; Personal can't do side-by-side camera review.
  2. Budget the annual pool around your biggest expected production, not an average month.
  3. Use commenters for everyone who only reviews.
  4. Get the terms in writing, especially retention and deletion.
  5. Use the 14-day trial on a real recording set.
