Filevine vs WhisperAI Legal Transcription

Filevine provides tools for complex legal work, including matter and document management, client communication, intake, depositions, drafting, billing and business analytics. Matter Management tracks tasks, contacts, deadlines and calendars. Document Management organizes files, supports advanced search and enables secure sharing. Intake tools capture, qualify and route leads, including through AI-powered features; client intake forms and a client portal are also listed. Deposition tools cover scheduling, live transcription, AI summaries and a searchable library. LOIS AI Drafting generates, edits and reviews documents using matter context, with human-verified output. The Matters package includes time tracking, invoice management and online payments. Native integrations span billing and timekeeping, email and calendars, data visualization, law management and communication. Filevine describes encryption at rest and in transit, governance controls, and identity and access management, and says it is hosted on AWS. Packages are tailored to the organization, with pricing on request. LOIS Explore is free but does not connect to Filevine Case Management.

WhisperAI Legal Transcription turns audio and video into searchable, editable transcripts for legal and other professional work. It can detect speakers, add timestamps, create AI summaries, translate, and export transcripts as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT, or VTT. Its Legal preset retains 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, and label speakers with roles such as Counsel, Witness, or Judge. Uploads can be as large as 5 GB. Lawyers, paralegals, and court reporters are among the intended legal users for depositions, hearings, witness interviews, and client meetings. A free plan includes 5 minutes per month; Premium is $14.99 per month with 120 minutes per month. The MCP connector works with Claude and ChatGPT on every plan, and Google Drive Cloud Sync can transcribe files added to selected folders. Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256; the security program is SOC 2-aligned, not certified. Transcripts are working drafts, not certified court records.
