help provide an overview of ongoing matters for better planning and transparency.
- Greater audio features: Review, redact and search multilingual audio files in context with other documents,
and speed the review with speaker and noise detection functionality.

projects and identify documents with exceptions – encrypted, corrupted, etc. – for special handling.
The Ringtail e-discovery platform supports law firms and corporate legal teams of all sizes that are tasked with managing the
complexity and scope of today’s global e-discovery. A full-featured platform, Ringtail software processes and culls data, provides
