It's just that the discovery phase can be very time staking. Also requires some audio software and patience. I'm a computer nerd, and there is a strong move in the computer industry towards a distributive computing model. What that means is that in order to get the most out of your resources, you distribute the work across several computers.

Well, the same can hold true in any task. And that includes in searching for evidence. By spreading the search out between several people you gain:

1) The ability to go through a large amount of evidence rather quickly.
2) Redundancy in the form of what one person misses, another may catch.
3) Independent verification, you gain this by having several people go over the evidence. If several find the same results in the same location, that evidence is verified.

While I was sitting here trying to help someone with some investigation evidence, a thought came to mind. I wonder how much call there is for creating a Forum for investigators to post their evidence files, and request for help to listen through them, crop and post the areas where there are EVP's.

Its just a way to let investigators concentrate on investigating, and at the same time get multiple ears and eyes on the evidence to find results. Of course recording the file position in the original. If there is call for it, we can come up with guidelines and instructions for those wishing to help out.

Just curious what everyone's thoughts on this is? Interested in hearing both from Investigators and those willing to dig through evidence.

Obviously any evidence found would remain the sole property of the investigator. And the party searching would get mention if the found evidence is used.
