By Amit Chowdhry • May 27, 2024

Steno, a tech-enabled provider of legal support and court reporting services, announced that it launched a first-of-its-kind generative AI tool for transcript analysis called Transcript Genius. This tool transforms how attorneys interact with transcripts. Along with the unveiling of Transcript Genius, Steno also announced the completion of $46 million in additional capital.

Transcript Genius is addressing the traditional and labor-intensive process of transcript analysis, providing a much-needed solution that saves time while enhancing case strategy. The tool enables dynamic interaction with a library of transcripts in a case, empowering litigators to efficiently parse testimony to identify key facts, inaccuracies, and conflicting information within seconds.

This new potential to engage with transcripts enables litigators and legal teams to quickly access customized insights, streamlining their workflow and uncovering details in testimony that might otherwise be overlooked. And with the ability to ask their own questions about testimony, attorneys will be better equipped to make informed decisions faster than they have been able to do before.

The notable features of Transcript Genius include:

1.) Offers litigators the capability to ask any question, providing customizable responses tailored to specific case needs

2.) An ability to highlight inconsistencies/discrepancies within and between transcripts with just a click

3.) A deeper analysis of testimony to strengthen arguments, including page and line references for manual follow-up

4.) A platform feature for seamless integration into attorney workflows
