VerbaLex

VerbaLex helps investigators, prosecutors, forensic experts, journalists, researchers, public institutions, and other accountability actors analyse large-scale propaganda datasets. It identifies legally significant statements and criminal narratives, and generates structured analytical and evidentiary reports for further expert, legal, and investigative review.

The Challenge / Why It Matters

Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, propaganda ecosystems have generated massive volumes of content used to justify aggression, dehumanise victims, mobilise support for violence, and destabilise democratic societies.

The challenge is scale. Legally significant statements, criminal narratives, and potential evidence are often buried inside thousands of hours of broadcasts, interviews, posts, and transcripts. Manual review is slow, fragmented, and highly resource-intensive: it requires specialised legal, linguistic, and investigative expertise, substantial staff time, and continuous coordination across teams. As a result, accountability actors often struggle to identify and analyse relevant material quickly enough.

Without technology, the gap between the volume of harmful content and the capacity to investigate it will continue to grow.

The Product

VerbaLex is an AI-powered tool developed by LingvaLexa in collaboration with prosecutors and forensic experts. It enables investigators and legal professionals to work with large-scale media content and identify what matters.

Key Capabilities

• Rapidly analyses large volumes of media content, including broadcasts, transcripts, recordings, posts, and other digital materials

• Identifies legally significant statements, criminal narratives, and recurring patterns of harmful speech

• Supports preliminary forensic-linguistic and legal assessment by explaining why specific statements may be relevant

• Filters large datasets to help experts focus on the most significant material

• Generates structured analytical and evidentiary reports for investigators, prosecutors, forensic experts, journalists, researchers, public institutions, and other accountability actors

VerbaLex reduces years of manual screening to fast, structured, technology-assisted review.

How it works

Users upload media content. VerbaLex scans the material, identifies and extracts legally relevant statements, explains their potential forensic and legal significance, and produces structured analytical and evidentiary reports suitable for further expert, legal, and investigative review.

Future Development

VerbaLex is designed to scale from analysing collected materials to automated monitoring and collection of relevant content across media sources and digital platforms. Future development may expand beyond the Ukrainian context to support hate speech detection, narrative analysis, and broader information-threat monitoring.
