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.
