Technical Requirements by Product

We currently offer two versions of the BriefCatch legal writing product: BriefCatch 3 and BriefCatch Standalone.

BriefCatch 3 is an AI-powered software system that is designed to help legal professionals improve their writing skills and create more persuasive and effective documents. The system works by analyzing written documents and providing users with real-time feedback on elements such as sentence length, readability, and word choice. The software analyzes documents for tone, readability, and grammar.

BriefCatch 3 is the current version of our flagship legal writing platform and is where all future development will be focused. BriefCatch Standalone is offered to organizations who do not meet the technical requirements for BriefCatch 3.

BriefCatch 3

BriefCatch 3 is a cloud-based product leveraging the latest Microsoft Azure Centralized Deployment capabilities and offers simple installation on user workstations via a Microsoft Office Add-In. All new features and functionality are developed for and deployed to the current, cloud-based product, so we recommend it to all subscribers who meet Microsoft’s technical requirements.
