SoniClear RealTime 10 provides live AI speech-to-text for court proceedings, depositions, and hearings. It runs on Windows and sends audio over an internet connection to a cloud transcription server; text appears on the computer in 1–2 seconds. During transcription, users can correct wording and speaker attribution, while the software assigns speakers by their order of appearance. Live, Edit, and Final Draft views show incoming text, a working transcript, and a legal-format transcript with line and page numbers. The Edit view organizes text by speaker turn and supports full-text search, with freeform and marker-based notes also available. Each view can be exported as a text file, including a rough ASCII draft with line and page numbers or a clean version for word processing. The product page says it transcribes in ten languages; its FAQ names English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese, and says English and Spanish can be used simultaneously. Court Recorder 10 integration can synchronize transcripts with audio and reporter notes. SoniClear says data is encrypted, transcripts are not kept in the cloud after a session, and on-site hosting is available for high-security projects.
