One mistranscribed phrase could mean the difference between justice served and a case lost.
That belief shaped legal transcription for decades. Transcripts had to be courtroom-ready because they were intended for use on paper.
The world has now shifted. Audio and video have exploded in volume. Bodycam footage, jail calls, and interrogations are no longer edge cases. The problem isn’t accuracy alone. It’s how to work through everything and find what matters with due diligence.
This is where AI legal transcription fits in. Not as a replacement for certified transcripts, but as a navigational tool. Fast, searchable, and interactive to help attorneys move through discovery efficiently.
In this article, I'll walk you through the process of getting AI legal transcription in three easy steps.

Step 2: Get AI transcription instantly
Your transcription will start rolling in immediately. It'll just take a few seconds to generate the full transcript, depending on the length of your video or audio.

After locating critical evidence, you can extract portions of the video as exhibits and stitch them together to make your case.
Reduct allows you to select the transcript and download just that part of the video, without any prior video experience or technical know-how.
