Transcribe a Legal Interview or Court Recording

Transcribe a legal interview or court recording when a hearing is useful only if you can find the exact words later. Upload a hearing, deposition, interview, or other recorded legal conversation you are allowed to process. We transcribe it, keep speaker turns, and list statements, questions, answers, objections, spoken rulings, exhibit mentions, and numbers with times. If two lines by the same speaker look inconsistent, we flag them for review. We do not say anyone is lying, and we do not decide the case.

Useful for Lawyers, investigators, and teams reviewing a recorded proceeding

This tool traces what was spoken. It is not legal advice and does not decide guilt, innocence, credibility, or whether anything is admissible in court.

1The proceeding is transcribed. Speakers come from your notes or Speaker 1 / Speaker 2 / Unknown.
2Lines are tagged into allowed categories (statement, question, answer, objection, ruling, exhibit, number, and similar).
3Same-speaker statements that appear inconsistent can be flagged as contradiction — not as a lie.

Or use the general upload for a transcript, summary, chapters, and chat. All tools.

Run this tool

Upload one hearing or interview. Speaker notes are optional. This is a trace of the recording, not legal advice.

What this tool does

A narrative memo is easier to get wrong. This page traces speech: objections, sustained/overruled-style rulings, exhibit N, questions and following answers, spoken numbers, and general statements. Speaker roles (judge, counsel) are not inferred from the voice — only from your notes or generic Speaker 1 / 2. An inconsistency flag is two statements from the same speaker that clash in the trace, for your review. Not legal advice, not a verdict, not a claim of admissibility, not an official court transcript.

How it works

1The proceeding is transcribed. Speakers come from your notes or Speaker 1 / Speaker 2 / Unknown.
2Lines are tagged into allowed categories (statement, question, answer, objection, ruling, exhibit, number, and similar).
3Same-speaker statements that appear inconsistent can be flagged as contradiction — not as a lie.
4Ungrounded rows are dropped. Unclear speech stays unclear.
5You jump to a time or play a clip.

Who it is for

Lawyers, investigators, and teams reviewing a recorded proceeding. Not a public case decider.

What you can use it for

Hearing review

Upload a hearing you may process. Search the trace for “objection” and spoken ruling language. Jump to that time instead of scrubbing the file. This is not the official transcript.

Deposition or interview

Upload the recorded examination. Questions and the following answers can be listed with times. A number spoken once is easier to find than by ear. Confirm against your official record.

Exhibit mention

When someone says “exhibit 4,” that line can be tagged. A document that was only shown and never named will not appear.

Example: trace row and an inconsistency flag

A reviewer uploads a 20-minute interview they are allowed to process. A question, answer, objection, ruling, and exhibit mention are tagged. Two same-speaker lines clash for review. Illustrative rows — not a real matter:

Question    04:12  Speaker 1  “Where were you on March 3rd?”
Answer      04:20  Speaker 2  “I was in the office all day.”
Objection   11:02  Speaker 1  “Objection.”
Ruling      11:08  Speaker 1  “Overruled.”
Exhibit     15:40  Speaker 1  “Let the record reflect exhibit 4.”

Contradiction (same speaker, for review — not a lie finding)
  04:20  “I was in the office all day.”
  16:05  “I left at noon on March 3rd.”

What you get

A working trace: transcript, speakers, timed categories, optional clips, and review flags. Not legal advice, not a verdict, not admissibility, not an official transcript.

Timestamped transcript with speaker turns
Objections, spoken rulings, exhibits, Q and A, numbers
Same-speaker inconsistency flags for review
No verdict and no admissibility claim

Supported files

MP4, MOV, or WEBM video, or MP3, M4A, or WAV audio. Upload from your device. We do not fetch files from other sites.

Limits to know

Not legal advice, not a court-certified transcript, not a credibility score. Categories follow spoken patterns and can mis-tag. Speakers are not identified from audio. Inconsistency flags are for review, not a finding of dishonesty. Admissibility is not decided here. Recording and use rules are yours.

Tips for better results

If you know the roles, write them in speaker notes. We will not invent “the judge” from the voice.
Upload only recordings you are allowed to process.
To hunt one phrase rather than trace the proceeding, use the quote tool.

Questions

Can I transcribe a court or legal interview recording?

Yes, if you may process that file. You get a timed trace with speaker turns when they are labeled.

Is this legal advice?

No. It traces the recording. It does not advise, decide a case, or say whether anything is admissible.

What does an inconsistency flag mean?

Two lines attributed to the same speaker look inconsistent in the trace. That is for your review. It is not a finding that anyone lied.

Do you identify counsel or the judge automatically?

Only from your speaker notes, or as Speaker 1 / Speaker 2. We do not guess identities.

What kinds of lines are listed?

Statements, questions, answers, objections, spoken rulings, exhibit mentions, numbers, and similar tags — each with a time.

Is this an official court transcript?

No. Official transcripts follow your jurisdiction’s process.

Can I jump to an objection or ruling?

Yes. Listed lines keep their times.
