WhisperAI Legal Transcription turns audio and video into searchable, editable transcripts for lawyers, paralegals, court reporters, and other professional users. It is intended for material such as depositions, hearings, witness interviews, and client meetings. Its Legal preset retains legal terminology and role references, along with clearly spoken fillers, hesitations, repetitions, and false starts. Users can provide up to 100 case-specific names or terms per file to guide spelling. The service detects speakers, supports role labels such as Counsel, Witness, or Judge, and adds timestamps. Files up to 5 GB can be uploaded; exports include PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT, and VTT. AI summaries, translation, and integrations are also available: its MCP connector works with Claude and ChatGPT on every plan, while Google Drive Cloud Sync can transcribe new files in selected folders. A free plan includes 5 minutes per month; paid plans start at $14.99/mo. Transcripts are working drafts, not certified court records.
