Truth Capture records legal proceedings and transcribes them on the iPhone itself. No connection required. Court reporters work in rooms where the signal is unreliable and a proceeding cannot be run again. Truth Capture records to the phone and produces a readable preliminary transcript while you are still in the room, using on-device speech recognition. Nothing is uploaded to do it, and nothing needs a network. RECORDING • Records to the phone, in the background, with the screen locked • Live transcript on screen as the proceeding runs • Elapsed time and input level, so you can see it working • Survives a phone call, and survives the app being killed mid-recording THE PRELIMINARY TRANSCRIPT • Produced on the device, with word-level timings • Readable immediately — before you leave the courthouse • Superseded automatically once the recording is processed in full WHEN YOU ARE BACK ONLINE • Recordings upload in the background to your Truth Transcription account • The recording is transcribed again with speakers separated by microphone • Editing, exports and delivery happen on a computer, where that work belongs A phone recording is a backup and a draft. The court transcript is produced from equipment audio on a computer, and Truth Transcription can replace the phone recording with that audio in the same session. Requires an existing Truth Transcription account. Accounts are created by an administrator; write to us if your firm does not have one yet.
