Transcribe a 6-hour deposition and prepare from it tonight.
A 6-hour deposition is 360 minutes of audio, and WhipScribe returns it as one timestamped transcript in about 12 minutes, since processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. The opening minutes are a free preview.
Six hours on the record
From the last question to a searchable record before dinner.
Where the file comes from
Most six-hour depositions reach you as the videographer's MP4, the court reporter's audio, or a Zoom or Teams cloud recording when the session was remote. Any of these can go straight in. If you hold only a heavy video, export the audio track first, and send big files through upload page.
The clock arithmetic
At about 2 minutes per hour of audio, 360 minutes takes roughly 12. The public proof page shows a 9.31-hour recording finished in 1,033 seconds, so a deposition that runs into overtime stays comfortably inside one job.
Lines of questioning as chapters
Chapters start where counsel turns to a new subject: background, the agreement, the emails, the damages claim. The brief lists every exhibit number, date and dollar figure spoken aloud, each tied to the moment it was said.
Costing a whole case
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.
The week after a long deposition
Waiting on the certified copy should not stall the next witness.

FAQ
Six-hour depositions: what people ask first.
How long does a 6-hour deposition take to transcribe?
Around 12 minutes. The rate is about 2 minutes per hour of audio, and the job carries on in your Library if you close the tab.
Which pack covers 360 minutes?
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. First-time visitors see a free preview of the opening minutes; once the pack is added, transcription continues from where that preview stopped. Credits are a one-time purchase and do not expire.
Is this a certified deposition transcript?
No. It is an AI transcript for working from: outlining, drafting follow-up questions, locating testimony. It is not certified or official, it does not replace the court reporter, and nothing on this page is legal advice.
The video file is 7 GB. How do I send it?
One file can be up to 5 GB, so export the audio track, about 350 MB for six hours, or a lower-resolution copy. Before any pack is on the account, uploads already go up to 5 GB.
The deposition continued into a second day. One upload or two?
Two, one per day, each with its own chapters and brief. A continuous recording longer than 10 hours would also need splitting, since 10 hours is the ceiling for a single file.
What about privacy, languages and export formats?
Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. 99 languages are detected automatically; testimony given through an interpreter is detected on its main language, so check those passages against the audio. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
