Depositions, client meetings, and discovery recordings as searchable text — same day, with the certified-transcript line drawn clearly.
Here's what you get — speaker labels, timestamps, and multiple download formats. Try it with your own file.
Legal practice runs on two different transcription products, and conflating them wastes money in both directions. Certified transcripts from court reporters — $90–360 per audio hour, days of turnaround — are required for filings, evidence, and the official record. Working transcripts for case preparation, internal review, and searchability need none of that ceremony, and paying certified rates for them is the most common transcription overspend in small firms.
AI transcription serves the working tier: depositions you hold recordings of, witness interviews, client meetings and intake conversations, discovery audio. At $2 per audio hour with speaker labels, an entire case folder becomes searchable text the same day it is recorded — which changes case prep from "read what we could afford to transcribe" to "search everything anyone said."
Confidentiality is the gating question for any cloud tool in legal work, and the relevant facts are simple: files are processed by machine, no human reviews content, and audio is deleted automatically after processing. Pair the working-transcript workflow with analysis prompts — contradiction detection, timeline construction, cross-examination preparation — and transcription stops being a cost center and becomes the index to your case file.
AI working transcripts for prep and search at $2/hour; certified reporters for what gets filed. Match the product to the use and the budget follows.
Automatic speaker labels keep examiner and witness separate, so excerpts attribute correctly in your case notes.
Machine processing only, automatic file deletion after transcription. The data-handling answers your ethics review will ask for.
Not as the official record — filings and evidence require certified transcripts from qualified court reporters. AI transcripts are for case preparation, internal review, and search, where certification adds cost without value.
That analysis is yours to make under your bar’s rules, but the relevant facts: automated processing, no human content review, automatic deletion after transcription. Most firms treat this like any vetted cloud vendor decision.
At $2 per audio hour, forty 90-minute recordings — sixty audio hours — cost about $120 total, roughly the price of a single hour of certified transcription.
With transcripts as text, LLM prompts handle contradiction detection, timeline extraction, key-fact inventories, and cross-exam preparation. Our free AI prompts library includes a legal toolkit built for exactly this.
$2 per hour. No subscription. Files are auto-deleted after processing.
