GoldFynch vs redactX

GoldFynch is a cloud-based eDiscovery service for managing and reviewing legal case data. It automatically processes uploaded files, including OCR to make scanned text searchable. Users can search documents, emails, and images, refine results with metadata, and combine terms using Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT. Reviews, redactions, and productions can be handled in the browser, with no extra production charge. Supported files and archives include PDF, PST, MBOX, MSG, EML, Office documents, TIFF, JPEG, ZIP, and RAR. Cases can be shared with unlimited users at no additional user fee, with roles and permissions controlling access. The free case allows one case per new account, up to 512 MB stored and 1 GB processed, and expires after 90 days; productions carry a GoldFynch watermark. Paid cases start with the 3 GB case at $27 a month, billed monthly and prorated, with unlimited users, productions, and processing. GoldFynch runs on the vendor cloud and is available on the web. Founded in 2016, it is a Mazira product based in Iowa City, Iowa.

redactX automates redaction across documents, images, video, and audio using natural language processing, computer vision, and speech recognition. The company says it processes more than 100 input formats. Document tools include OCR, over 95 preconfigured named entities, custom zero-shot entity definitions, reusable templates, and batch workflows. For images and video, it can identify faces, objects, and text in over 90 languages. For audio, multilingual speech recognition creates transcripts for review and translation, and specified spoken words can be muted or bleeped. Teams can collaborate on assignments, compare revisions, schedule recurring tasks, and generate reports about redaction work. A REST-based API supports integration with customer applications, and the software can monitor a drive or S3 bucket. Deployment options include on-premises Windows or Linux and cloud-based AWS Machine Images. The maker presents the product for law enforcement, government, healthcare, and legal services. Pricing is available on request, and subscriptions are yearly; AWS usage is billed by the hour, with one- and two-year subscriptions available at lower prices.
