Frequently Asked Questions

Is AI meeting transcription secure for legal work?

It can be appropriate for some workflows after a documented privacy and security review. Verify the provider's current controls, processing terms, retention, access, and human-review requirements before use.

Can AI transcribe depositions accurately?

Quality varies with audio, speakers, terminology, and provider. Treat AI output as a draft and check the applicable rules; official or filed transcripts may require qualified human transcription.

How much time do lawyers save with AI notes?

Time savings depend on meeting volume, audio quality, review requirements, and how the team uses the output. Measure the workflow with a small pilot instead of assuming a fixed saving.
