Deposition Transcription Automation

Let your AI agent handle deposition audio, labeling speakers and inserting timestamps so you can focus on certifying records and reviewing accuracy.

You spend hours in Express Scribe or FTR Player, pausing and replaying audio files just to type every word. As a court reporter, you juggle identifying speakers from Zoom recordings and reformatting drafts in Word for attorney review. The pressure mounts as deadlines approach, and errors in speaker attribution or missed timestamps can damage your professional reputation.

An AI agent that automates deposition audio transcription, adds speaker labels and timestamps, and formats legal drafts for court reporters.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In legal proceedings, court reporters are tasked with producing precise deposition transcripts under tight deadlines. Relying on manual transcription means toggling between FTR Player, Microsoft Word, and email to track speakers, insert timestamps, and format drafts. This repetitive process drains your time, increases the risk of mistakes, and limits how many depositions you can accept each week.

If you keep ignoring it
