Automated Transcription for Depositions- Top 3 Benefits

A deposition transcript ensures that your evidence is properly documented for future reference, appeals, and other legal purposes.

For example, if a recording of the phone call is used as evidence, transcription of the call is provided to the jury to understand the call's contents. After all, it is so much easier and faster to skim through a text, than listen to an audio or watch a video.

The deposition transcript can be generated manually or automatically using Artificial Intelligence (AI).

How Automated Deposition Transcription Works

With its machine learning algorithms, deposition audio is analyzed and converted into written text which helps to make the transcript consistent and complete throughout.

There are many softwares for automated transcriptions with tempting features. Many lawyers are switching to automated transcription for consistent and instantaneous transcriptions.
