Skribe is a web platform for capturing, searching, analyzing, and sharing legal testimony. It serves attorneys and paralegals with options for working with existing recordings or conducting depositions. Automated speech recognition creates rough transcripts, which professional transcriptionists proofread for final transcripts. Users can search testimony and create and share video clips. Skribe also uses Anthropic for post-event analysis and question answering; it says customer information is not used for external training or shared with third parties for this purpose. Library supports audio and video uploads, rough transcripts, synced video-to-text, and clips. Link can join a Zoom deposition even when the user is not the host, with an AI rough transcript and HD video; a human-reviewed final transcript is an upgrade. Live is powered by Zoom and includes a Digital Reporter to swear in the witness, track exhibits, and help manage the proceeding. Live provides a same-day rough transcript and a human-verified final transcript in 5–7 days. Final transcripts include a sworn declaration attesting that the record is accurate and word-for-word. Skribe’s privacy policy describes 128-bit SSL encryption for personal information in transit. It says personal information may be stored indefinitely unless the user requests removal.
