Transcribe a 7-hour deposition the whole day as one document.
A 7-hour deposition is 420 minutes on the record, and the whole day comes back as one timestamped document in about 14 minutes. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes covers the full day with 80 minutes to spare.
A full day on the record
Seven hours of testimony, read and searched the same evening.
Fourteen minutes for the day
At about 2 minutes per audio hour, a 7-hour day is usually back in about 14 minutes. Our public proof page shows a 9.31-hour file finished in 1,033 seconds, so a deposition that runs late is well inside what one upload can carry.
One pack covers the day
420 minutes fits inside the $6 pack of 500, with 80 minutes left for a short follow-up. If you are preparing several witnesses, the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes holds four full days like this one.
When the video file is too large
A day of HD video can pass the 5 GB ceiling. Export the audio track instead, which for seven hours is usually a few hundred megabytes, or split at the lunch break into two files. A file over 2 GB uploads once a pack is on the account; use upload page for those.
Find the afternoon answer that changed the morning one
Chapters mark each line of questioning, and the chat can compare what the witness said about a date before lunch with what they said at four o'clock. Exhibit numbers, amounts and dates are listed with the timestamps where they came up.
Why a full day breaks most tools
Most transcription tools were never built for a seven-hour file.
✗ Cutting the day into pieces
Tools with a one- or two-hour limit force you to cut the day into four or five parts, each with its own clock starting at zero.
- Four or five uploads for one witness
- Timestamps that restart in every part
- Upload limits far below a day of video
- Thirty or more hours to type it yourself
- No list of the exhibits mentioned
- A monthly plan for one deposition
✓ The day as one record
The day stays one file, so a timestamp in the afternoon still matches the original recording.
- About 14 minutes for 420 minutes
- Up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file
- 80 minutes left on the $6 pack
- Morning and afternoon on one clock
- Exhibits, dates and amounts pulled out
- DOCX for the outline, SRT for the video

FAQ
A 7-hour deposition, the common questions.
How quickly does a 7-hour deposition come back?
About 14 minutes. Speed is roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A long day does not queue behind its own size: it runs as one job and arrives as one document.
What do 420 minutes cost?
One $6 pack of 500 minutes covers it and leaves 80. A first-time visitor reads the first 20 minutes free; buying the pack then carries the transcript on from that point. For a run of full-day witnesses, the $12 pack holds 2,000 minutes.
My video of the day is over 5 GB. What now?
Upload the audio track instead: seven hours of audio at a normal bitrate is roughly 400 MB. Or split at a natural break such as lunch into two files. Files over 2 GB upload once a pack is on the account.
Can this replace the court reporter's transcript?
No. What you get is an AI transcript with timestamps to work from. It is not a certified court transcript, it does not replace a court reporter, and it is not legal advice. It is for preparing questions and outlines while you wait for the official record.
What about a deposition with an interpreter?
99 languages are detected automatically, and the recording is detected on its main language. Interpreted answers are transcribed as spoken, so read those passages against the recording before you rely on them.
Which exports are there, and is the recording private?
The exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete both the file and the transcript at any time.
