For lawyers and paralegals
Spend less time sorting client screenshots.
Available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
A record you can check
Important wording stays connected to the source you selected.
Search the record, open the relevant message in context, and review the retained-source status before you share an export. Text extraction is a starting point for review, not a substitute for checking the source.
- Searchable message text
- Dates, people, attachments, and transcripts
- Retained-source and integrity status
Useful for scoped intake
Not a replacement for specialist collection
TextTrace has no legal hold, custodian management, matter workspace, privilege review, Bates production, forensic imaging, deleted-data recovery, or chain-of-custody certification. Use a qualified provider when the matter requires those controls.
A client instruction that stays narrow
- Preserve the original device/source and avoid deleting relevant content.
- Confirm which people, dates, and source are in scope.
- Create the supported export or selected capture.
- Review the TextTrace record against the retained source.
- Send the output and source through the firm’s approved secure channel.
Questions, answered precisely
Frequently asked questions
Is TextTrace eDiscovery software?
TextTrace can prepare selected records and export RSMF 2.0, but it is not a full collection, legal-hold, review, or production platform.
Does TextTrace bypass encrypted iPhone backups?
No. The Mac importer reads only unencrypted Finder or iTunes backups. TextTrace does not bypass backup encryption.
Does a checksum make an export legally admissible?
No. A SHA-256 checksum can help you check whether a file changed. It does not establish authenticity, completeness, admissibility, or legal sufficiency.
