Transcribe a deposition recording from the oath to the last question.
Looking to transcribe a deposition recording that ran most of the day? Drop the audio or video below: one file holds up to 10 hours or 5 GB, a 7-hour deposition comes back in about 14 minutes, and the first 20 minutes are free. You get a timestamped working transcript to prepare from, with the whole examination on a single clock.
Why a deposition fits here
A full day of testimony, kept as one record to work from.
Seven hours, one upload
Depositions rarely stop at an hour. Direct examination, cross, the breaks and the redirect after lunch all sit in one recording, and the whole thing goes up as a single file of up to 10 hours or 5 GB. A video deposition larger than the box on this page takes continues on the upload page.
Timestamps your team can point to
Every passage carries the time it was spoken, counted from the start of the recording. When an associate flags an answer at 04:12:37, anyone holding the video can jump to that moment and hear the pause, the tone and the objection that followed it.
The facts pulled out for you
Alongside the text you get a brief of the testimony, chapters that follow each line of questioning, and the names, dates, dollar amounts and exhibit numbers the witness said aloud. Speakers are identified and named in the summary, key quotes and chapters, which keeps the deponent's answers distinct from the questions put by counsel.
Priced by the minute, not the page
A 6-hour deposition is 360 minutes, and that sits inside one $6 pack of 500 minutes with room left for a shorter session. Credits never expire and there is no subscription to cancel once the matter closes.
Before the transcript arrives
Waiting on the deposition transcript, or reading it tonight.
✗ Working from the raw recording
Until text exists, the testimony lives only inside a long video that nobody on the team has time to sit through twice.
- Scrubbing hours of video to find one answer
- Live notes that miss the exact wording
- Prep for the next witness stalled on the last one
- Exhibit references scattered across the day
- No way to search the testimony for a name
- Waiting days just to read what was said
✓ A working transcript the same day
The recording turns into searchable text on one timeline, so the team can read, quote and plan while the reporter's record is still being produced.
- One file for the entire examination
- Search the testimony for any name or date
- Chapters that follow each line of questioning
- Exhibit numbers and figures listed in the brief
- About 14 minutes for a 7-hour recording
- DOCX for notes, SRT to sit beside the video
Sample output
Hour five reads on the same clock as minute one.
An illustrative excerpt written for this page, not a real deposition. Timestamps run from the start of the recording, so an answer given after the lunch break keeps its true place in the day.

FAQ
Deposition recordings, answered.
How long does a 7-hour deposition take to transcribe?
About 14 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A three-hour half-day session usually finishes in about six. You can close the tab while it runs and open the result later from your Library.
What does a 6-hour deposition cost to transcribe?
Six hours is 360 minutes, so one $6 pack of 500 minutes covers it and leaves 140 minutes over. A first-time visitor also gets the first 20 minutes free, which shows the result on your own audio before you buy. For a matter with many depositions, the $12 pack holds 2,000 minutes, a little over 33 hours.
Can I upload the video deposition, or only the audio?
Either one works. Video files up to 5 GB are accepted; before your first pack uploads go up to 2 GB, and a larger video starts once a pack is on the account. If the video is above 5 GB, export just the audio track, which is a fraction of the size and transcribes the same way.
The deposition ran across two days. Do I need to split anything?
Upload each day as it was recorded, because a single file can run up to 10 hours and one day of testimony almost never passes that. Only a recording longer than 10 hours has to go in as two files, and each comes back with its own timeline.
Is this a certified deposition transcript?
No. This is an AI transcript with timestamps for reviewing and preparing, not a certified transcript, not a substitute for the court reporter, and not legal advice. Use it to read and search the testimony quickly, and rely on the reporter's transcript for anything filed or cited.
Which formats can I export, and who sees the recording?
DOCX and TXT suit case notes, SRT and VTT sit beside the video, and JSON feeds a review tool. Depositions are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, and you can delete the recording and its transcript whenever you choose.
