# The hearing is transcribed, and the copilot listens with you.

*By Alejandro Cárdenas · November 5, 2026 · 10 min read*

While the witness testifies, RuleX shows you what they said earlier in the case file, with the citation from both sides. When the judge rules, the record already has the minute entry and you know which appeal applies and when it expires. You look the witness in the eye; the copilot keeps the thread.

RuleX’s live transcription turns the hearing audio into text as it is spoken, with every speaker identified, and saves the recording as it goes so a network drop cannot lose it. The hearing copilot, in a panel beside the recording, shows contradictions with the case file with the verbatim citation from both sides, laws and rulings mentioned, the judge’s decisions with a minute entry for the record and the objection that applies, with its article.

## Litigating a hearing is listening, remembering and deciding at the same time.

The witness gives a date. You know that in the out-of-court statement they gave another, but you cannot recall which page. The judge dictates a quick ruling and you manage to note half of it. Opposing counsel asks a leading question and by the time you decide to object, the moment has passed.

The hearing is the moment when preparation weighs the most, and also the one that least allows you to consult it. **RuleX’s hearing copilot exists for exactly that:** so your preparation is in the room with you, right when it is needed.

Everything starts from a base that is already solid: live transcription.

## Every voice with its name, every word saved.

1. **You start recording with one tap.** In **Transcription**, the microphone button opens the live recording with a timer, voice bars and the status “Saved up to…”. The text arrives word by word, with a label for each speaker.

2. **You name the voices.** “Name the voices” assigns procedural roles (Judge, Prosecutor, Plaintiff, Witness). The turns, the timestamps and the record update on their own with the name you choose.

3. **Nothing is ever lost.** What is recorded is saved on the server as it goes. If you close the tab, the network drops or a provider fails, the hearing already recorded is still there. A long session continues without cuts: the connection renews itself every 55 minutes without interrupting the audio.

4. **The record comes out ready.** When it ends you have a continuous transcript, or a “With timestamps” version, that you copy or download as plain text. You select a passage and copy it **as a quote**, in quotation marks and with who said it.

> The copilot works in your corner: you speak and you decide, and it puts in front of you, at the right moment, what you already knew and could not look up.

## Four things you see while someone is speaking.

Beside the recording the “Hearing copilot · listening” panel appears. You choose the case file and the type of proceeding, assign the voices and it starts working. The cards filter by All, Contradictions, Rulings, Laws and Objections.

- **Contradictions with the case file.** What was said against what is on file: the out-of-court statement, the examination, the complaint, the answer or what was said earlier in the same hearing. Each alert carries **the verbatim citation from both sides, the document and the page**, and it appears only when the words show up exactly as in the original.
- **The judge’s rulings, with a minute entry.** When the judge rules, the copilot saves the literal sentence, drafts **the minute entry for the record**, and tells you which appeal applies, when to file it and when it expires, counting business days with Colombia’s holidays. It recognizes 16 kinds of ruling: evidence admitted or denied, appeal granted or denied, hearing set or suspended, injunctive measure, costs and more.
- **Laws and rulings, instantly.** When someone mentions an article, it appears with its text or a summary. A catalog of **57 articles** of the CGP (General Procedure Code), the CPTSS (Labor Procedure Code), the CPP (Criminal Procedure Code), the CPACA (Administrative Procedure Code) and Law 2213 is verified against the current text; for everything else, the copilot searches the RuleX library by the citation of the law or ruling.
- **The objection, with its phrase.** Leading, trick, compound, calling for opinion, already answered or irrelevant: the copilot identifies the question, gives you the phrase to say it (“Objection, Your Honor: the question is leading”) and the article that supports it.

## Speed and accuracy, verified word by word.

- **1.5 s** — is the typical time between the phrase and the alert for laws, rulings and objections.
- **13/13** — planted contradictions found on the test bench, with 9 of 9 rulings and 4 of 4 objections.
- **57 articles** — in the local catalog, checked against the current text of each code.
- **3,000 pages** — of indexed case file that the copilot has in front of it while it listens.

## A witness examination, minute by minute.

A trial hearing (instrucción y juzgamiento) in a labor case. The plaintiff’s attorney has the case file loaded and the voices assigned.

- **00:12 · The hearing opens.** Transcription starts. The panel shows “listening” and recognizes the judge by their first intervention; the attorney confirms the role with a tap.
- **00:42 · The witness fixes a date.** They say they were dismissed “on March 3”. The panel shows, in soft red, that in their out-of-court statement they said “March 13”, with both verbatim citations, the document and the page.
- **00:47 · The attorney cross-examines.** She uses the contradiction exactly as it appears on screen, with the page reference. The witness clarifies.
- **01:05 · Opposing counsel asks.** “Isn’t it true that you were always late?” The copilot flags it: leading question, and proposes the phrase for the objection with its article.
- **01:20 · The judge rules.** A piece of evidence is denied. The literal sentence appears, the minute entry for the record, the motion for reconsideration and its expiry. The attorney moves it to the record with one click.
- **01:40 · The hearing closes.** The recording is saved, the continuous transcript sits in its history and “Copy record” carries the past alerts into the record.

**The hearing is transcribed, and the alerts that mattered sit in the record, with their citation.**

## Your case file stays home: only the phrase travels.

To check a phrase against the case file, RuleX keeps the case file out of any model’s hands. To the small model travel **only the sentence that was said, the question, the case-file sentence it is compared with and the source label**. The citations of a contradiction are accepted only when they appear word for word in the source document. Logs hold no text; the only things stored are the alerts you move into the record.

The audio reaches RuleX over a connection with a sixty-second permit, origin verification and plan control. The browser never receives a key from any provider.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does RuleX’s hearing copilot do?

While you transcribe the hearing live, it shows in a panel contradictions with the case file with the citation from both sides, laws and rulings mentioned, the judge’s decisions with the minute entry for the record and the objection that applies, with its article.
### Does the transcription identify each person?

It labels every speaker and lets you assign procedural roles (Judge, Prosecutor, Plaintiff, Witness). The record, the turns and the timestamps update with the names you choose.
### What happens if the connection drops during the hearing?

The hearing already recorded is kept. RuleX saves what is recorded on the server as it goes, and backs up segments of about forty seconds. If the connection fails, the segment is transcribed when it arrives and the connection is retried.
### How does the copilot cite contradictions?

With the verbatim citation of what was said in the hearing and of what is on file in the case file, the document and the page. The citation appears only if its words figure exactly as in the original.
### Which plans include transcription?

Pro includes five transcriptions a day and Ultra twenty. Plans start at COP 40,000 a month on Pro, with a 7-day trial and no card.
### For which jurisdiction is the copilot built?

The copilot works with Colombia’s codes and deadlines: CGP, CPTSS, CPP, CPACA and Law 2213, with the Colombian holiday calendar. Live transcription serves any hearing held in Spanish.
