NetScribe® Live

Read what’s being said, as it’s being said.

NetScribe Live records the proceeding, in the room or over a call, and streams a live transcript participants can follow across languages.

Record & capture

However the room is set up.

NetScribe Live records single-channel audio when one microphone covers the room, or multi-channel audio when separate microphones cover each speaking position: in a courtroom, the bench, counsel, the witness and the gallery.

Your existing audio hardware

Multi-channel capture works with the audio hardware already installed in your rooms, including Biamp and PreSonus devices.

Remote participants

When someone joins by phone, NetScribe Live captures their audio directly from the call. When a session runs on a conferencing platform, the desktop app captures the workstation’s own audio. Either way, a remote witness or interpreter lands in the same recording as the room, not a second file to reconcile later.

Several cases, one session

One recording session can hold several cases, so you can run them back to back without starting a new session for each.

Notes that travel with the audio

Notes attach to the recording itself and can be shared with the people who need the context.

The passage, not the whole session

Isolate the passage a request covers and export it on its own. Nothing else in the session is released.

Transcription handoff

A draft now, or a finished transcript.

The live transcript, as a draft

The transcript streamed during the session is labeled by speaker and ready as soon as the recording ends. Export it as-is when a working copy is all you need.

Professional editing through NetScribe®

When you need a finished transcript, send the recording to NetScribe, VIQ’s transcription platform, from inside NetScribe Live. There is no re-upload and no format conversion. Request professional editing and the transcript comes back at 99% accuracy, ready to download beside the recording in NetScribe Live.

You can also download recordings on their own, when transcription happens somewhere else.
