Instant Transcription
Instant transcription at a fraction of the cost.
Real-time court transcription inside the casefile. Edit it, download it, or send it to a certified transcription service. The audio is immutable and remains the source of truth.
How it works
From spoken word to working transcript.
- 1
Transcribe live in hearing mode
As the hearing runs, Briefcase produces a real-time transcript inside the casefile, drawing on names and details from the case file to sharpen accuracy. No waiting for a turnaround.
- 2
Edit, download, rely on it
Low-confidence words are highlighted so you can review them at a glance. Correct the transcript, export it to file, or share it from the record the moment the hearing ends.

Certify when it counts
When an official transcript is required, send the record to a certified transcription service. The immutable audio remains the source of truth.
Hearing record
RecCounsel, on the question of the deficiency notice, when was it served on your client?
Yes, your Honour. It was served on Ms Delacroix on the fourteenth of March.
Thank you. We accept the timing point and will proceed.
Continuity & security
Transcripts are court records.
Transcription arrangements change. The record cannot. With Briefcase, hearings are transcribed in your own workspace, under role-based access and full audit trails, with nothing handed to a third party unless you choose one.
Beyond the courtroom
For law firms and legal teams.
Legal transcription is bigger than hearings. Firms and in-house teams use Briefcase for real-time transcription of client interviews, depositions and other matters. Once the AI has transcribed it, export the transcript or take it straight into document assembly. Courts running Briefcase can also provide transcripts to parties directly from the record.
Document assembly
From transcript to order.
The transcript lands in the same record that drives Briefcase document assembly. Orders, directions, notices and file notes are drafted from the casefile, transcript included, ready for your review. What was said becomes what happens next, without retyping any of it.

Yes. Law firms and in-house legal teams use Briefcase for real-time transcription of client interviews, depositions and other matters. Once the AI has transcribed it, export the transcript or use Briefcase document assembly to turn it into the documents you need.
