Most, if not all, legal AI applications at the moment are text-based rather than voice-based. But, now here comes Loop, which offers the general public the ability to use spoken natural language processing (NLP) to find legal information.
The Philadelphia-based start-up got going about one year ago and is this year in the process of coming fully to market. Artificial Lawyer spoke to one of the co-founders, Peter McCann about this ‘Legal Siri’.
McCann begins by noting that at 37 years old he is in fact the youngest of the group that created Loop. He also notes that the NLP algorithms that deal with the speech recognition and processing have been patented by the founders after a period of development that including trials in the medical field.
So, first point, this technology has not just arrived, it’s taken time to get here, even if Loop is new. But why apply this tech to the law? Why not use it in another area?
‘Loop is about the recognition that 80% of people who need access to the law can’t get represented by a lawyer,’ McCann says, citing a now established figure in A2J circles.
