A long day of testimony

The morning's answers next to the afternoon's, in one search.

Audio first, video if you must

A full-day video deposition usually runs past the 5 GB per-file limit, while its audio track stays near 460 MB. Ask the videographer for the audio or export it yourself; a remote deposition saved from Zoom or Teams can often be saved as audio only. Large uploads go through upload page.

Inconsistencies, by timestamp

Over eight hours, an answer at 10 a.m. and one at 4 p.m. can drift apart. Ask the chat what the witness said about a meeting date across the day and you get each passage with its timestamp to check against the video.

Exhibits in order

The brief lists every exhibit number, date and amount said on the record, in the order they came up, and chapters mark each subject of examination and each break. The breaks stay on one clock with the rest of the day.

A case of long days

Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire.

Before the certified copy

Eight hours of testimony, and the next witness sits in two days.

✗ Waiting and rewatching

Until the reporter's transcript arrives, the only way back into the day is the video itself.

  • A full-day video too heavy to share
  • Rough notes from the second chair
  • Exhibits tracked on a legal pad
  • One answer found after an hour of scrubbing
  • Tools that cap a file at two hours
  • Parts that restart at 00:00

✓ Working text tonight

One transcript for the full day, ready to outline from while the official record is prepared.

  • About 16 minutes for eight hours
  • Up to 10 hours or 5 GB in one file
  • Twenty minutes left over on the pack
  • Chapters by subject and break
  • Exhibits and dates listed
  • DOCX to start the digest

FAQ

Eight-hour depositions: practical questions.

How long does an 8-hour deposition take to transcribe?

Roughly 16 minutes. Speed runs at about 2 minutes per audio hour, and the finished transcript waits in your Library.

Does the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes cover a full eight hours?

Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. A first-time visitor reads a free preview of the opening minutes, and adding the pack continues the transcript from there. Credits are bought once and never expire.

Can the transcript be filed or used as the official record?

No. This is an AI transcript to work from, not a certified or official transcript, and not legal advice. File and cite the court reporter's certified transcript.

What if the deposition ran longer than 10 hours?

One file holds up to 10 hours or 5 GB. Split a longer recording at a break into two files; each gets its own chapters, and the timestamps restart in the second file.

What if an interpreter was used?

Language is detected automatically across 99 languages, and a recording is detected on its main language. Answers given through an interpreter are transcribed as spoken; check them against the recording before relying on them. Overlapping objections and crosstalk are transcribed as they were heard; read those passages against the video.

Who can see the recording, and how do I export?

Deposition audio is transcribed on our own servers and is never used for training, and you can delete the file and transcript whenever you choose. Exports: TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
