Legal transcription
Find the minutes that matter in hours of case recordings
Upload client calls, interviews, hearings and evidence recordings. Get speaker-labeled, timestamped transcripts in minutes, then ask a question and open the answer at the exact second it was said.
We ask what you record and which format you need, then show you the product.
Who it is for
Litigation firms
Calls, interviews and evidence recordings from a case, transcribed and searchable in one place.
Solo lawyers
Draft transcripts of client calls and recordings without waiting on a transcription service.
In-house legal teams
Internal interviews and investigation recordings, transcribed and searchable.
Transcription and stenography offices
Start every job from a speaker-labeled draft and spend your time on review.
Hours of audio, one question to answer
Listening at normal speed
Someone plays the recording, pauses, types and rewinds. One hour of audio becomes several hours of work.
Per-minute transcription bills
Outside transcription is billed by the minute and can take days to come back.
The key moment is buried
The sentence you need sits somewhere in the middle of a long recording, and finding it again means scrubbing the timeline.
Transcribe.so turns each recording into a searchable transcript, so the first pass takes minutes instead of an afternoon.
What you get
Every recording you upload gets all of this. Nothing to configure.
Speaker labels
Every line is attributed to a speaker, so you can follow who said what in a call or an interview.
Timestamps
Sentence-level timestamps let you jump back to the audio and check the exact wording.
Ask across a case
Ask a question across your whole library or one folder per case. Answers cite their sources and open at that exact second.
Summaries and chapters
Each recording gets a summary and chapters, so you can see what a long call covered before you read it.
Exports
Download TXT, Markdown, SRT, WebVTT or JSON, then lay out the transcript the way your office requires.
Connectors and API
Work with your transcripts from Claude or ChatGPT through our connectors, or build on the API.

How we handle client recordings
Client recordings are confidential. This is what happens to them, as our Privacy Policy describes it.
- We do not use your recordings or transcripts to train AI models unless you opt in.
- We do not sell your data or your content.
- Recordings are processed on infrastructure we operate and by third-party providers acting on our behalf, which do not use them to train their models and keep content under their own retention terms.
- For summaries, chapters and answers, providers receive transcript text and your question, not your audio.
- Data is encrypted in transit with TLS and encrypted at rest.
- Content is kept while your account is active and for 30 days after you delete the account. Files you delete leave active storage within 30 days, and backups are kept for up to 30 days.
- Your content may be stored and processed in countries other than your own. Section 7 of the Privacy Policy explains how.
- You can export your transcripts from your account once a day and delete recordings whenever you choose.
Documents for your compliance review
Read the Privacy Policy before you upload anything. A data processing agreement (DPA) is available on Enterprise. If your review needs more, ask us on the call and we will answer in writing.
Read the Privacy PolicyFrequently asked questions
Is the transcript accurate enough to rely on?
It is a draft. Automatic transcription makes mistakes, especially with crosstalk, poor phone audio and names. You or your stenographer should review it against the audio before you rely on it, and the timestamps make that check fast. We do not certify transcripts.
Who is responsible for recording consent?
You are. Recording and consent rules depend on where and how a recording was made, and we do not check them. Upload only recordings you are allowed to use.
Which languages are supported?
Transcription covers 52 languages and dialects, including Korean and English. Timestamps are at least sentence level in every language.
How long do you keep our recordings?
Content is kept while your account is active and for 30 days after you delete the account. Files you delete leave active storage within 30 days, and backups are kept for up to 30 days. Third-party providers that work on our behalf keep content under their own retention terms.
Can we get our data out?
Yes. You can export your transcripts from your account once a day, and download any transcript as TXT, Markdown, SRT, WebVTT or JSON.
Do you have plans for firms?
Talk to us. Book a call or email us with roughly how many hours you record a month, and we will suggest a plan. Each account is one sign-in today. Public plans are on the pricing page.
Do you sign a BAA?
No. We do not sign a Business Associate Agreement, so do not upload recordings that contain health information protected under HIPAA.
