AI Deposition Transcript Tool

No. AI Deposition Transcript Tool returns a draft that a certified transcriptionist or reporter reviews against the recording before certification. The tool does not sign, certify, or format a transcript to a jurisdiction's rules, and a deposition used in a case still needs the ordinary review and certification steps.

The transcript follows the order of the exchange, with separate turns for each speaker, so questions and answers sit in sequence. Numbering by page and line, condensed formatting, and the exact convention a reporter uses are applied by the reviewer. The draft supplies the text and the order, not the final layout.

Each voice is labeled as a separate speaker when separation is on, so an examining attorney, a defending attorney, and the deponent do not merge into one block. The labels can be renamed to names and roles in the editor, which matters when several counsel appear for different parties on the record.

Objections, side exchanges, and off-record remarks are transcribed as spoken and kept in the order they occurred. Overlapping speech is the hardest case: where two people speak at once, the text may need a human ear. A reviewer normally flags those turns and resolves them against the video before the draft is finalised.

Every turn carries a time counted from the start of the uploaded file, which makes it possible to find one answer without replaying the session. If the deposition was recorded to video and the file is submitted unedited, the timestamp points to the same moment in the video, which helps when a passage is disputed.

Common audio and video containers, including MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV, and WebM, can be uploaded, and a hosted recording can be added as a link. Files up to 100MB and speech up to three hours are supported, so a long deposition may need to be split at a recess.

Dictawave sends audio to the speech recognition provider named in its privacy notice and does not retain the uploaded audio after the job finishes. A firm handling protected or sealed material should still check that this processing fits its own confidentiality policy, protective order, and retention obligations before uploading.

Yes. Wording, speaker labels, and punctuation can be corrected in the editor, and the export carries those changes. That lets a reviewer fix a name or a technical term once and reuse the corrected text in a designation, a notice, or a file, while the recording remains the authority for anything that ends up quoted.
