Trial preparation is document-intensive, and the recordings pile up faster than anyone can type: depositions, witness interviews, dictated notes, affidavits, recorded hearings, inmate calls. Whether you run a two-attorney practice or a national litigation team, turning recordings into usable records is the same work — and it rarely bills.
VIQ turns that audio and video into high-quality verbatim transcripts your team can review, edit and annotate. More than 4,200 customers send us their recordings. Professional editors trained in legal language and procedure return transcripts at 99% accuracy — or, when you need the substance sooner, FirstDraft® provides a draft in near real time, at a fraction of the cost.
VIQ handles the whole journey: capture or upload the recording, manage it securely, and get the finished transcript back through one platform. One vendor, no handoffs between software providers and service agencies — so your team spends its hours on billable work, not typing and chasing files. Professional editing and automated drafting run in the same workflow, and you choose per recording which one each file gets.

Cases run on deadlines. Send a recording and get back a searchable, editable transcript — a near-real-time draft or a professionally edited record, whichever the matter needs. Your team reviews, annotates and shares it in NetScribe®, without losing a single detail between systems.
FirstDraft® was built for exactly this: upload a recording, get a draft back in near real time, and pay a fraction of full editing. No volume required — send one file when one file is what you have.
