FTR Justice Cloud vs Skribe

FTR Justice Cloud captures, stores, reviews, and manages court records. It records courtroom audio and video, supports live speech-to-text with speaker identification, and provides playback, monitoring, transcription, and summaries. Judges, clerks, and attorneys can review and annotate proceedings, while courts can handle requests for recordings, certified transcripts, and speech-to-text outputs. Courts may also provide online ordering, request tracking, and secure delivery. The system supports existing courtroom hardware, legacy audio uploads, and connections to case-management, evidence-management, and other systems. Recording can continue locally without connectivity; audio uploads and speech-to-text generation resume when a connection returns. The maker says recordings and transcripts are not used to train generative-AI systems or shared externally for model development. The platform is offered through API, macOS, web, and Windows, and its desktop app supports transcribers and court reporters. People requesting records through participating courts must create a free account using an email address. Pricing is available on request.

Skribe is a paid web platform for capturing, searching, analyzing, and sharing legal testimony. It serves litigators, attorneys, and paralegals through tools for uploaded recordings and live depositions. Automated speech recognition creates rough transcripts, while professional transcriptionists proofread final transcripts. Users can search testimony and make shareable video clips. Its AI analysis uses Anthropic for post-event analysis and question answering; Skribe says customer information is not used for external training or shared with third parties for that purpose. Library costs $99, paid once and supports audio or video uploads, rough transcripts, synced video-to-text, and clips. Link costs $129, paid once, joins Zoom depositions, and provides HD video with an AI rough transcript. Live costs $379, paid once, includes a Digital Reporter, and delivers a same-day rough transcript plus a human-verified final transcript in 5–7 days. Final transcripts include a sworn Declaration of Verbatim Transcript. Skribe requires a computer with webcam, microphone, and speakers; it suggests 50 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload.
