Tools for autopsy and investigation reports

ForensicReport.org helps forensic pathologists, medical examiners, coroners and investigators organize findings and prepare report drafts in their own wording. Review the reporting tools below, then follow the drafting workflow.

Report structure that matches your voice

Arrange headings and sections to suit how you write, with a report structure built around your style.

Dictation and audio upload

Speak at the table or upload a recording made elsewhere. The transcript becomes report language, never an interpretation.

Designed to reduce AI hallucinations

Your input is staged as findings for you to review, correct and approve. Coded rules hold the report structure, while you check the draft for accuracy.

Your phrasing, written once and reused

Standard descriptions are captured in your own wording, so reports stay consistent with each other and with you.

Export in the format you need

Download your working draft as Word (.docx), plain text (.txt), Markdown (.md) or JSON (.json), ready to refine and finalize in your own system.

Autopsy, investigation, and scene

Reporting workflows built for each role, with your report content kept in your own account. Professionals who perform both roles can use both workflows.

Case timelines

Build a timeline from case records. Review, correct and export events; proposed entries remain marked unreviewed until you accept them.

Precision through coded rules

Section order, formatting and report assembly follow coded rules. Your approved standard phrasing is reused exactly, keeping routine wording consistent and the report structure reproducible.

Tools for forensic reporting

BMI, growth assessment and charts

Calculate body mass index (BMI) and compare growth measurements with age-appropriate reference curves. Charts use the same measurements as the report.

Organ-weight reference

Expected organ weights and the usual range for the decedent's age and sex, from published reference data. A table beside your work. Nothing is written into the report.

Record summarization

Medical records, investigative material, and prior reports summarized into something you read quickly, attached to the case so they are still there months later.

History and findings summarized before you conclude

Medical history and autopsy findings are gathered into a summary, so the material you need is in front of you when you dictate the conclusion. The conclusion itself is always dictated by you.

Consistency check on an existing report

Fifteen kinds of internal inconsistency, among them laterality, measurements, repeated descriptions, and retained template text. It reports what it found and changes nothing.

Testimony preparation

Anticipated questions on the case, each one tied back to the passage of the report it came from, so you prepare from your own document.

ICD-10 diagnosis coding

Suggested ICD-10 codes for diagnoses you document. Review the suggestions and choose what is finally coded.

Investigation report creation

Write the investigation report in your own voice, dictating only what departs from normal. Standard text and boilerplate are kept for you.

Export

Choose Word, plain text, Markdown or JSON to continue working in the tools you prefer.

Word .docx
Plain text .txt
Markdown .md
JSON .json

Every export carries a draft label.

What it will never do for you

It will never estimate cause or manner of death

It does not propose one, rank one, or hint at one. That call is made by the pathologist, always.

It will never interpret the case

It will not tell you what a finding means or what to look for next. Interpretation is done by the pathologist, always.

It will never finalize a report

Everything it produces is a working draft, finalized in the system your office already uses.

Less time formatting, more time thinking

The capability list is short because it is honest. Ask us about anything that is missing.
