Transcribe a 90-minute deposition and prepare from the testimony the same day.
A 90-minute deposition is transcribed in about 3 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per audio hour; the audio is usually under 100 MB, while videographer footage can run past 2 GB. One deposition uses 90 of the 300 minutes on the $4 pack, after the opening minutes, which are free.
From the deposition room to case prep
Every answer the witness gave, searchable while the court reporter's copy is still pending.
Which file to upload
A remote deposition held on Zoom gives an M4A audio file and an MP4 video; an in-person one may have a videographer's MP4 or an audio backup. Audio for ninety minutes is usually under 100 MB. Full-HD video can pass 2 GB; files that size start with or without a pack, and the limit per file is 10 hours or 5 GB.
About three minutes
Processing runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio, so ninety minutes of testimony is text in about three. The proof page shows 9.31 hours processed in 1,033 seconds; a full day of depositions is still a matter of minutes.
Counting a case
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. A practice handling thirty a month uses 2,700 minutes, on the $18 pack of 3,000 minutes.
What comes back
The brief summarises the testimony and takeaways, lists the names, exhibit numbers, dates and amounts that were said, and the questions the session answered. Chapters follow each line of examination. Counsel and the witness are named in the summary and key quotes. The chat finds the answer about a specific meeting or document in seconds.
Why case prep waits
The certified transcript takes days. The strategy meeting is tomorrow.

FAQ
Ninety-minute depositions, the common questions.
How long does a 90-minute deposition take to transcribe?
About 3 minutes. Speed is roughly 2 minutes per audio hour, so a long day with several witnesses still comes back within minutes.
Is this a certified transcript?
No. This is an AI transcript for working from: case preparation, summaries and finding testimony fast. It is not a certified or official transcript and not legal advice. Use the court reporter's certified copy for filings and the record.
What does a case's depositions cost?
The opening minutes of the first deposition are free. Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes. Six ninety-minute depositions come to 540 minutes, which fits the $18 pack of 3,000. Credits never expire, so leftover minutes carry over to the next matter.
The video file is very large. What should I do?
Files up to 5 GB upload, before a pack and after one. If the video is larger, export the audio track, which for ninety minutes is a small fraction of the size and transcribes the same.
Can it handle an interpreted deposition?
Yes. 99 languages are detected automatically, and a recording is read on its main language. Where testimony alternates between two languages through an interpreter, check the passages in the second language against the audio.
Which exports are there, and how is the recording handled?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, with timestamps that point back to the video. Depositions are transcribed on our own servers and are never used to train any model; delete the file whenever the matter allows.
