Convert recordings to searchable text — depositions, hearings, client calls
Upload video or audio files and AI.Law converts them to searchable, timestamped transcripts. Deposition videos, client intake calls, hearing recordings, witness interviews, and expert consultations — all converted to text that feeds into AI analysis, deposition comparison, and case documents.
How Transcription works on a live matter
Transcription is the AI.Law tool civil litigators use for deposition and witness work. Court reporters take days or weeks to deliver official transcripts. AI.Law transcribes the video in minutes — giving you a searchable, AI-analyzable transcript the same day. When the official transcript arrives, you have already identified the key testimony and started your analysis.
On a live matter it runs in 4 steps: (1) Upload the recording, (2) AI transcribes with speaker ID, (3) Review and edit, (4) Use across your case. Upload audio or video files to your matter — deposition recordings, client calls, hearing audio, witness interviews.
A video deposition sits in your file as a black box — unsearchable, unquotable, and usable only by watching the entire recording. AI.Law converts it to a searchable transcript with speaker identification and timestamps, making the testimony immediately available for AI Associate queries, deposition analysis, cross-referencing, and trial preparation. The same applies to client calls, hearing recordings, expert consultations, and witness interviews. Video depositions converted to searchable transcripts with speaker identification — before the court reporter delivers the official transcript.
Deposition videos transcribed same-day — do not wait for the court reporter. Supports all common audio and video formats — MP3, MP4, WAV, MOV, and more. Each output cites the source pages in your matter so you can verify it before you file.

More Money
Recordings become usable case documents — not files that sit unwatched
Most recorded depositions are watched once and then sit in the file. Transcription makes them searchable, quotable, and analyzable — turning hours of video into a document that powers your AI tools, your deposition analysis, and your trial preparation.
- Get ahead of opposing counsel by analyzing deposition video testimony the same day
- Client call transcription ensures no detail is lost from intake conversations
- Every recording becomes a searchable document that powers AI analysis across the platform
- No per-minute transcription service fees — transcription is built into the platform
Stop waiting for court reporter transcripts — or letting recordings go unreviewed
See what changes when AI handles the work instead.

|---|---|---|
| Turnaround | Days or weeks for court reporter delivery | Transcript available in minutes after upload |
| Searchability | Video files are unsearchable — must watch to find content | Full-text search across every transcribed recording in the matter |
| AI integration | Recordings cannot be analyzed by AI tools | Transcripts feed directly into AI Associate, Deposition Analysis, and other tools |
| Client calls | Intake details from phone calls captured in attorney notes — if at all | Calls transcribed and added to the case file automatically |
| Cost | Per-page or per-minute fees from transcription services | Built into the platform — no per-recording cost |
