Transcription App for Legal Audio Transcription
⚖️ Turn hours of depositions, hearings, and client interviews into accurate, searchable transcripts — without ever leaving your machine.
Whether you’re transcribing depositions, court hearings, client consultations, or witness interviews, legal audio transcription is the bottleneck between a raw recording and a usable document. Transcription App removes that bottleneck entirely — and keeps your confidential audio files exactly where they belong: on your machine. No need to outsource to a legal transcription company when you can produce precise, timestamped transcripts yourself.

Transcription App supports 99 languages using OpenAI’s state-of-the-art Whisper models, including the newest Large V3 Turbo.

📂 Unlimited Projects — One Place for Every Case
Organise your work the way your legal workflow demands:
- 📁 Group depositions, hearings, and interviews into separate projects by case, client, or matter
- 📝 Project-by-project case notes
- 🗂️ Keep different cases, clients, and proceedings cleanly separated
- 📦 Archive and share projects across devices — send a project file to a colleague or co-counsel and they can pick up right where you left off
🔒 Private by Design — Attorney-Client Privilege Demands It
Confidential recordings, privileged communications, and sensitive case materials have no business on someone else’s server. In transcription law practice, protecting client data isn’t optional — it’s an ethical obligation. Unlike a typical legal transcription company that requires uploading audio to remote servers with opaque storage practices, Transcription App takes a fundamentally different approach.
- 🛡️ No user accounts tied to your data — it’s an app, not a platform. We just need your email to check your subscription… And that’s it!
- 🧠 Speech recognition and speaker identification are computed entirely on your machine
- ✅ Fully compatible with attorney-client privilege, court confidentiality orders, and firm data-security policies
- 🏠 Set custom storage locations — keep recordings on encrypted drives or your firm’s own infrastructure
This isn’t just a feature. For legal professionals handling privileged recordings, sealed proceedings, or sensitive client matters, local processing is a necessity.
⚖️ Built by a Researcher, Ready for Legal Professionals
Transcription App is created by Dr. Samuel Haddad-Bacry, a qualitative researcher who built the tool to simplify working with audio and video transcripts.

Stop waiting days for a legal transcription company to return your files. Handle your own legal audio transcription on your terms, on your timeline.
No cloud. No platform. No data you can’t account for.
