Steno, a leading provider of court reporting services, has recently announced the launch of Transcript Genius, a genAI-powered transcript analysis tool that is now available to all users at no extra cost. This new capability is designed to help attorneys streamline their workflows, extract crucial insights, and build stronger cases. Steno, which was established in 2018, has been dedicated to providing top-notch court reporting services and utilizing technology to enhance their offerings. With the introduction of genAI, the analysis of transcripts is the next logical step for the company, and they are taking full advantage of this opportunity. According to Steno, since the beta release of Transcript Genius earlier this year, users have reported saving an average of 2 to 4 hours per case.
Transcript Genius offers a range of features, including customizable summaries that focus on specific aspects of a case, multi-transcript analysis to uncover patterns and inconsistencies, and a conversational interface that allows users to ask questions, request summaries, and gain strategic insights from their transcripts. Additionally, every AI-generated response includes clickable page-line or footnote citations for easy verification, and users can refine their analysis by asking follow-up questions, requesting updated summaries, or exploring specific points in detail.
One of the most powerful features of Transcript Genius is its semantic search function, which allows users to search for exact matches or semantically-related results within their firm’s transcripts. This means that even if a user searches for “the incident” instead of “accident” or “car crash,” all relevant references within the transcript will be found.
Transcript Genius also offers an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface for uploading transcripts from any source, making it a comprehensive tool for analyzing all case-related documents. With this tool, users can ask questions such as “What did the witness say about the accident?” or “Find any contradictions in the testimony,” and Transcript Genius will provide key information with page and line citations.
Dylan Ruga, co-founder and president of Steno, stated, “Our goal at Steno has always been to make it easier for attorneys to win their cases. We understand the challenges they face when reviewing large volumes of transcripts, and Transcript Genius is a powerful tool that saves them time, empowers informed decision-making, and ultimately helps them achieve the best possible outcomes for their clients. By harnessing the power of AI, we are giving our users a competitive edge and saving them hours of manual review time.” Best of all, this tool is included at no additional cost with Steno’s services.
