Launching November 2026

Transcription for legal work

Lawyers, paralegals and investigators get an editable draft transcript of the recordings they already hold: client interviews, witness statements, voicemails and hearing audio. It’s machine transcription. It won’t replace a court reporter or a certified transcript, and it’s priced like a tool, not a service.

What to use it for, and what not to

  • Good uses

    Reviewing a client intake call or witness interview before you write the memo. Finding where something was said in a long recording, then sending a colleague to it. Draft transcripts of recorded hearings, meetings or voicemails for your own file. Discovery audio as searchable text your team can review.

  • Not a fit

    Anything you’ll file with a court as an official or certified transcript. Replacing a court reporter at a deposition. Medical records (see the note below). Recordings you don’t have the right to hold or transcribe.

Textspert is not HIPAA-covered and does not sign BAAs.

Keeping a matter confidential

  • Your audio and transcripts are never sent to any AI company. Transcription runs on our own GPUs.
  • We never use your files or transcripts to train any model.
  • Transcript text never appears in our logs.
  • Admin accounts need two-factor sign-in, and impersonating a user needs a written reason, recorded in an audit log.
  • Files travel over HTTPS and are encrypted in storage. Share links are private, can expire and can be revoked.
  • Delete any file the day a matter closes, or set files to delete on a schedule.

Read our private transcription promises. The privacy policy lists services that handle payments and email.

We don’t hold a security certification today, and we won’t claim one we don’t have.

Review the draft before you rely on it

  1. Name the speakers

    Rename Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 to Attorney and Witness, or to initials, once. Every line updates.

  2. Check the parts that matter

    Click any line to play it. Dates, dollar amounts, names and negatives ("did" against "didn’t") deserve a second listen.

  3. Fix it and keep the timing

    Edit words inline. Each line keeps its timestamp, so a cite to 00:14:32 still lands on the right spot.

  4. Export for the file

    DOCX or PDF with timestamps and speaker names, or TXT for your review platform.

Paid plans and hour packs take files up to 10 hours and 5 GB, so a full day of recorded hearing goes up as one file. Labels separate up to 4 voices per file. Recordings over 3 hours are labeled in 3-hour parts, so check the names in each part.

Sort recordings by matter with folders and tags, then search them for a name, a date or a phrase. Hour packs suit firms with uneven volume: 60 hours cost $35, about $0.58 an hour, and last 12 months.

For co-counsel, create a private read-only link with an expiry date, or export a PDF. See the plans for every limit.

  • Solo practitioners

    Record the intake call with consent, upload it afterward, and skip retyping your notes. The transcript goes in the client file as your working record of what was said.

  • Paralegals

    Turn a stack of voicemails and recorded calls into text the attorney can skim, with timestamps that lead back to the audio when a detail is disputed.

  • Investigators

    Every line of your interview notes ties to the recording, so a report can point to the exact moment a statement was made.

Whether a call can be recorded depends on where each person is. Some places need only one party’s consent, others need everyone’s. We can’t tell whether a recording was made lawfully; that responsibility sits with whoever uploads it. None of this page is legal advice, and you know these rules better than we do.

Legal transcription questions

Is this a certified transcript?

No. You get an editable machine draft. It isn’t certified, and it doesn’t replace a court reporter or a certified transcriptionist.

Can I use it for depositions?

For your own review of a recorded deposition, yes. For the official transcript, use your court reporter.

Who at Textspert can see my files?

Staff use admin accounts that require two-factor sign-in, and signing in as a user needs a written reason that is recorded in an audit log. We host and process your files, so staff access is limited, not impossible.

Do you train AI on client recordings?

No. We never use your files or transcripts to train or fine-tune any model.

Can I delete a matter’s recordings?

Yes. Delete files one at a time, set files to delete on a schedule, or delete your whole account. Export everything first if you need it.

Can I get timestamps in the exported transcript?

Yes. Turn on timestamps and speaker names when you export DOCX, PDF or TXT.

Does it work on Spanish-language recordings?

Yes. We transcribe 100 languages and detect the language from the first 30 seconds of speech, or you can pick it at upload. Translating a finished transcript is a paid feature.
