Time domain astronomy has both increased the data volume and the urgency of data reduction in recent years. Spectra provide key insights into astrophysical phenomena but require complex reductions. Las Cumbres Observatory has six spectrographs: two low-dispersion FLOYDS instruments and four NRES high-resolution echelle spectrographs. We present an extension of the data reduction framework, BANZAI, to process spectra automatically, with no human interaction. We also present interactive tools we have developed for human vetting and improvement of the spectroscopic reduction. Tools like those presented here are essential to maximize the scientific yield from current and future time domain astronomy.
