Transcribe a 6-hour hearing as one file, with one clock.
A six-hour hearing is 360 minutes, which goes in as one file and comes back in about 12 minutes, with the first 20 minutes free. A $6 pack of 500 minutes covers the full day and leaves at least 140 minutes. Every line keeps its timestamp, so testimony can be quoted and checked against the audio.
What a six-hour hearing becomes
A full hearing day, searchable by witness, exhibit and minute.
The whole day stays together
Six hours is well inside the 10-hour limit for a single file, so morning and afternoon sessions keep one running clock. A citation to 04:12:30 means the same moment in the transcript and in the recording. A file larger than the 500 MB this box takes continues on the upload page.
Find any witness again
Chapters follow the shape of the day: openings, each witness, cross-examination, rulings from the bench. Jump to the third witness without listening to the first two again, and search the text for any word that was said.
Exhibits and dates listed
The brief collects the names, numbers and dates spoken aloud, such as an exhibit number, a contract date or an amount in dispute. Each one links back to its timestamp, which is where a careful reader checks it.
360 minutes, priced once
The $6 pack holds 500 minutes, so a six-hour hearing uses most of one pack and leaves at least 140. A matter with two full hearing days, 720 minutes, belongs on the $12 pack of 2,000, which leaves 1,280 for the depositions around it.
Why six hours is hard elsewhere
Most tools give up hours before the hearing does.
✗ Six hours the hard way
A full hearing day is too long for most quick tools and too long to type up by hand before the next session.
- Upload caps that stop at an hour or two
- The day cut into chunks with clocks that restart
- Typing from the recording: days of work
- No timestamps to cite a line of testimony
- A wait of days for a typed copy
- Hunting for one exhibit by ear
✓ One hearing, one document
The full day comes back as one transcript with chapters, timestamps and the facts pulled out.
- Roughly 12 minutes for all 360 minutes
- Twenty free minutes to judge the text
- Chapters by witness and session
- Each witness named in the summary and key quotes
- Exhibit numbers and dates with timestamps
- DOCX for the file, JSON for a review tool

FAQ
Six-hour hearings, answered.
How long does a 6-hour hearing take to come back as text?
Around 12 minutes, at the usual pace of about 2 minutes per hour of audio. For a public reference, a 4.94-hour recording finished in 372 seconds and is linked from /proof/long-files.
What does a 6-hour hearing cost?
360 minutes on the $6 pack of 500, leaving at least 140 minutes. If the matter runs to several hearing days, the $12 pack holds 2,000 minutes, which is a little over five six-hour days. There is no subscription, and credits never expire.
The hearing was streamed live. Can I paste the replay link?
Yes. YouTube replays, including live replays, are fetched from the link with no upload. A stream recording longer than 6 hours starts once a pack is on the account, so a hearing that ran past six hours on a stream needs the pack first.
How large is a 6-hour recording, and should I split it?
Video of a full day often runs past 2 GB, and a high-quality one can pass 5 GB. Up to 2 GB uploads before a pack and up to 5 GB after one. An audio-only MP3 of six hours is roughly 350 MB, and since one file can run 10 hours, there is no reason to split the day.
Is this a certified transcript?
No. It is an AI transcript with timestamps for working from: preparing outlines, finding testimony, drafting summaries. It is not a certified court transcript, does not replace a court reporter, and is not legal advice.
Which languages and exports are available, and who sees the audio?
99 languages are detected automatically, and a hearing is detected on its main language. Download the day as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete the file and transcript whenever you choose.
