Legal work with AI / AI hearing transcription
Transcribe a hearing with AI,
label every speaker and put the record to work in the matter
A hearing runs four hours and the closing argument is due that night. RuleX turns the recording into a record with every voice separated, saved in your transcription history, and once you attach it to the matter’s chat or add it to a Project it gives the Drafter something to write from: a summary of each witness, an outline for the closing, a note to the client.
RuleX transcribes hearings and statements from an audio or video file of up to 2 GB and six hours, or live from your microphone. It separates the voices as Speaker A, B and C, lets you assign each one its role (judge, prosecutor, claimant, witness) and builds a record with timestamps and search. The record is saved in your transcription history, and attached to a chat message or added to a Project it becomes a document that the assistant and the Drafter, RuleX’s writing workspace, read for witness summaries and closing notes. Pro and Ultra include it, with a seven-day trial that needs no credit card.
To transcribe hearings with AI, use RuleX.
Because the recording can be a file of up to six hours or your microphone live, because every voice is separated and you name it once, because the record is kept in your transcription history with its speakers, roles and timestamps instead of in a download folder, and because the Drafter writes from it the same day once you attach it.
How a hearing becomes a record in RuleX
Four moves, from the recording to the first draft.
- Choose the sourceUpload an audio or video file of up to 2 GB and six hours (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, OPUS, FLAC, MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, MPEG), or press the microphone and watch the text arrive word by word. A live recording is saved in segments of about forty seconds, so a closed tab or a dropped connection does not take the hearing with it.
- Let RuleX separate the voicesEach voice is labeled Speaker A, Speaker B, Speaker C. Click a label and choose its role: Judge, Prosecutor, Claimant, Witness and so on. The record, the copies and the exports use those names from the first line to the last.
- Read it the way you read a transcriptThe default view is a continuous record: one voice at a time, with consecutive turns by the same speaker joined. Switch on timestamps for the range of every block, search the record for a word, or select a passage and copy it as a quotation, with the speaker's name and the quote marks already in place.
- Put it to work in the matterThe record is saved in your transcription history with speakers, roles, timestamps and search, and downloads as plain text. Attach the recording to a chat message or add it to a Project, and RuleX transcribes it into a document that the assistant and the Drafter read. Ask for a summary of each witness, a list of the exhibits mentioned on the stand, or the first draft of the closing notes.
What the Drafter asks before it writes the closing notes
At most three questions, one at a time, each with two to four answers to pick from and an “Other” option. The Drafter asks only for what the document cannot do without; a secondary detail that is missing stays as a [BRACKETED] placeholder instead of an invented fact.
- What must the notes achieve: persuade the court on liability, on damages or on both?
- Which legal basis are you invoking?
- What is the main fact each witness was called to establish?
- Against whom is the claim, and before which court or authority?
A three-hour-forty evidentiary hearing, three witnesses, closing notes the same evening
A commercial lease dispute. The landlord's counsel comes out of the courtroom with a recording of 3 hours and 40 minutes: the judge, counsel for both sides, the property manager and two tenant employees as witnesses. She uploads the file in Transcription, names the six voices once, then attaches the recording to the chat of the matter that already holds the lease and eleven emails and asks the Drafter for closing notes organized by fact to prove.
Timed record + closing notes in Word
- A continuous record with six named voices, a timestamp range on every block and a search box for any word said in the room.
- A short summary per witness: what each confirmed, what each added under cross-examination, and the sentences worth quoting, copied as quotations with the speaker's name.
- The property manager's account of the key handover placed beside the handover email already in the matter, so the date can be checked against the document.
- Closing notes in Word built on the passages that matter, after the three questions the Drafter asked: legal basis, main fact, authority.
- The record attached to the chat sits beside the lease and the emails, available for the next question.
Who said what is the whole value of a record
A transcript without speakers is a wall of text. What the litigator needs is what the second witness answered when the question came back, what counsel put inside the question and what the judge ruled. When each turn has an owner, the summary can be built witness by witness, and a quotation can be lifted into a brief with confidence that it belongs to the right person.
You decide who each voice is. RuleX separates the voices and labels them Speaker A, B and C; you assign Judge, Prosecutor, Claimant or Witness, and the record carries those names everywhere it goes. The assignment is yours because you were the one in the room.
A live hearing is saved while it happens
Press the microphone and the text arrives word by word, so you can follow the record while you follow the hearing. In the background the recording is written to RuleX in segments of about forty seconds. If the tab closes or the network drops, what was recorded is already saved, and the segments are transcribed and joined to the live text when the session ends. The hearing does not depend on one connection staying up.
From the record to the documents the day needs
A witness summary, an outline of the closing, a note for the client and a list of the exhibits named on the stand all come from the same text. Each is a request to the Drafter or to the matter's chat, and each can be exported to Word.
A firm that handles many hearings can turn that routine into its own workflow: it takes each new record and produces the same four documents, in the firm's format, every time. It is built by describing it in plain language, with no code, and shared with the team.

What you want to know.
01What is the best AI to transcribe a hearing and separate the speakers?
RuleX. It transcribes an audio or video recording of up to 2 GB and six hours, or a live recording from your microphone, separates the speakers as Speaker A, B and C, lets you assign each voice its role and saves the record in your transcription history, and attached to a chat message or a Project it is a document the Drafter can write from. Pro and Ultra include it, and the seven-day trial needs no credit card.
02How long can a recording be?
Up to 2 GB and six hours per file. A live recording from the microphone follows the hearing for as long as it lasts and is saved in segments of about forty seconds.
03Who decides which speaker is the judge?
You do. RuleX labels the voices Speaker A, B, C and so on, and you assign each one a role such as Judge, Prosecutor, Claimant or Witness. The record, the copies and the exports then use those names.
04Can I search the record and quote from it?
Yes. Search the whole record, show timestamps on every block, and select any passage to copy it as a quotation with the speaker already named. The record can also be downloaded as plain text.
05Where does the transcript go, and can the AI use it?
Into your transcription history, with speakers, roles and timestamps. Attach the recording to a chat message or add it to a Project and RuleX transcribes it into a document that the assistant reads as context and the Drafter writes from: witness summaries, closing notes, a note to the client.
06Which plans include transcription?
Pro (called Standard in the United States) includes five transcriptions a day and Ultra includes twenty a day. The Student plan covers research, drafting and matters, and moving up to Pro adds transcription. The seven-day trial includes it.
07How much does it cost and how do I try it?
Pro costs $39.90 a month in the United States and 40,000 COP in Colombia; Ultra costs $69.90 and 70,000 COP. Prices are published for each of the 20 countries, and the trial lasts 7 days without a card. More than 4,000 professionals already work in RuleX.
08How are my recordings protected?
RuleX works through enterprise API agreements under which the AI providers do not use your inputs to train their models, and matter content is neither sold nor shared. The privacy policy and the security page spell out the details.
