Transcribe a 3-hour deposition and find each answer by its timestamp.
A 3-hour deposition is 180 minutes of questions and answers, and it comes back as timestamped text in about 6 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free so you can check how the witness and counsel came out, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes transcribes the rest with 320 minutes left over.
Three hours of testimony
A morning of questioning becomes a document you can search before lunch.
Six minutes for the morning session
Processing runs at about 2 minutes per audio hour, so 180 minutes of testimony is usually ready in about 6. Breaks, off-the-record pauses and long silences while exhibits are passed around do not slow it down much, and you can leave the tab while it works.
The arithmetic for 180 minutes
The $6 pack holds 500 minutes. This deposition uses 180 of them and leaves 320, enough for a second session of the same length and most of a third. That is $0.72 per audio hour, and the credits never expire.
Jump to the answer you need
Chapters follow the lines of questioning, so background, the timeline, the documents and the damages each get a heading and a start time. The chat answers a question such as when the witness first mentioned the meeting, with the timestamp to play.
Names, dates and figures pulled out
Depositions are full of dates, amounts and names of people who are not in the room. The brief lists the ones that were said with where they were said, and the speakers in the room are named in the summary, key quotes and chapters. Drop the file on upload page if it is over the size this box takes.
Why three hours is slow elsewhere
Typing a deposition by hand takes a working week.
✗ The usual way to a working copy
Waiting for the official transcript can take days, and typing your own copy of three hours is twelve to eighteen hours of work.
- Days of waiting for a working copy
- A tool that stops at the first hour
- Splitting the video into three parts
- No timestamps to go back to the tape
- Objections lost in a wall of text
- A monthly plan for one case
✓ One file, one clock
The whole session goes up as one recording and comes back as one document with one set of timestamps.
- About 6 minutes for 180 minutes
- First 20 minutes free
- 320 minutes left on the $6 pack
- Each line of questioning as a chapter
- Dates and amounts listed with timestamps
- DOCX for notes, SRT for the video

FAQ
A 3-hour deposition, the common questions.
How long does a 3-hour deposition take to transcribe?
About 6 minutes. Speed is roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, and our published runs include 2.48 hours in 200 seconds and 4.94 hours in 372 seconds. If you close the page, the transcript waits in your Library.
What does 180 minutes cost?
It fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes, which leaves 320 minutes for the next session. The first 20 minutes of the file are free for a first-time visitor, and the pack transcribes the rest from where the preview ended. There is no subscription.
How big is a 3-hour deposition file, and will it upload?
An audio export at a normal bitrate is roughly 60 MB an hour, so about 180 MB. A video file from a remote session is often a few hundred megabytes to a couple of gigabytes. Up to 2 GB uploads before you buy a pack, and up to 5 GB after one.
Is this an official transcript?
No. This is an AI transcript with timestamps for working from, not a certified court transcript, not a substitute for a court reporter, and not legal advice. Teams use it to prepare outlines and find testimony fast while the official record is produced.
Do I need to split the recording, and what about interpreters?
No splitting is needed: one file can run up to 10 hours or 5 GB. 99 languages are detected automatically, and a session that moves between English and an interpreted language is detected on its main language, so check the interpreted passages against the recording.
Which formats come out, and who sees the recording?
You can download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, all from one pass. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete the file and its transcript whenever you choose.
