SoniClear AI-powered technology makes professional-quality records more affordable and manageable than ever before. Solutions are available for court administrator managing case transcriptions, municipal clerks producing meeting minutes, or judges requiring instant access to testimony.
Transcriber 10 offers integrated, on-demand transcription for all SoniClear products, allowing you to convert recordings to text and generate AI-powered summaries in minutes after a session concludes.
RealTime 10 provides instant real-time transcription, streaming text directly to your screen within 1-2 seconds as people speak, making it the ideal solution for immediate visual confirmation and live review during critical meetings or court proceedings.
By leveraging both on-demand and real-time transcription, organizations can eliminate weeks-long delays and ensure ADA compliance while creating searchable, digital records. Understanding how these two distinct approaches solve specific operational pain points will help you implement the right solution for your organization’s unique needs.
On-demand transcription is the most efficient way to convert existing audio files into text after a session. Using SoniClear Transcriber 10, court administrators and municipal clerks can process audio up to 40 times faster than real-time, drastically reducing backlogs and administrative costs.
Court administrators face a common challenge: producing timely transcripts while managing limited budgets. On-demand AI technology transforms this workflow, turning a two-hour hearing into a draft transcript in just minutes. This allows clerks to produce meeting minutes the same day as a council session and enables court reporters to handle multiple cases simultaneously.
Traditional manual transcription often creates backlogs that delay appeals and official publications. By using automated on-demand transcription, you maximize resource allocation, producing full transcripts only when requested while maintaining a complete, searchable audio archive for future needs.
Real-time transcription (or live audio transcription) provides immediate text access as people speak. SoniClear RealTime 10 displays words on-screen within 1–2 seconds, which is essential for immediate information access, judicial review, and courtroom accessibility.
One of the most powerful advantages of SoniClear RealTime 10 is the ability to search testimony while the proceeding is in progress. Rather than relying on handwritten notes, judges and attorneys can instantly search for a witness's earlier statement or a specific exhibit number—all without interrupting the flow of the hearing. This is a game-changer for cross-examination and complex technical testimony.
Yes. Real-time transcription speeds up the process of reading back testimony. Instead of stopping the proceedings to have a reporter locate a passage, the court reporter can simply scroll through the live transcript on their own screen and provide the read back immediately, keeping the witness momentum intact. With SoniClear RealTime 10, judges can also instantly review prior testimony on their own screen without pausing the hearing to ask for clarifications.
Courts have a legal obligation to provide equal access for individuals with hearing impairments. Real-time transcription provides essential accessibility by displaying live text as proceedings occur. This ensures ADA compliance and supports remote participants when audio quality is low, or when participants require multilingual support.
Yes. Many experienced stenographers use SoniClear RealTime 10 as a strategic backup during demanding proceedings. Beyond procedural efficiency, SoniClear RealTime 10 significantly reduces the physical toll on court reporters and clerks helping to prevent Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI) and carpal tunnel syndrome, which are common career-ending challenges in the legal field.
Digital court reporters can also benefit from RealTime 10 regardless of what court reporting software they currently use. RealTime 10 works as a standalone backup to any existing digital recording system, providing a text file of the transcript after the proceeding concludes. For Court Recorder 10 users, RealTime 10 integrates directly into the software, syncing seamlessly with your digital recording workflow for even greater convenience and efficiency.
Modern AI audio transcription should augment your existing infrastructure, not replace it. SoniClear is designed to work with your current digital recording systems to maximize your previous technology investments.
SoniClear Transcriber 10 is format-agnostic, meaning it works with any audio or video format (MP3, MP4, WAV). You can easily import and transcribe recordings made with other systems or conferencing services, ensuring you aren't locked into a single vendor.
If you are already using Court Recorder 10, Gov Recorder 10, or Meeting Recorder 10, you are already equipped to integrate these transcription services with minimal additional investment.
