Generate court-ready transcript drafts on your Windows PC or Mac without your audio files ever leaving your device. 100% Private. 0% Data Egress. The power of AI, fully air-gapped.

The legal transcription industry is at a breaking point. The demand for expedited transcripts is growing, but the tools haven't changed in twenty years. You know AI could double your output, but the risks are too high.
Cloud-based tools like Otter or Rev require you to upload sensitive audio to third-party servers—a direct violation of your undertaking in sealed or juvenile matters. A single data breach could end your career.
So you stick to the manual grind: 4 to 6 hours of typing for every 1 hour of audio. The backlog grows. The deadlines tighten. The physical toll mounts.
“Privacy focused” is a marketing buzzword. “Offline Architecture” is a technical guarantee. ArcaScribe is a standalone desktop application. When you drag an audio file into ArcaScribe, the transcription process is performed entirely by your computer's own CPU and Neural Engine.
Your audio is never uploaded to OpenAI, Google, or our servers.
Your data is never used to train future AI models.
You can literally unplug your ethernet cable, turn off Wi-Fi, and ArcaScribe will run at full speed. Perfect for In Camera proceedings, Child Protection matters, Grand Jury testimony, and Attorney-Client privileged dictations.
Generic AI tools give you a wall of text. ArcaScribe gives you a workspace designed for the courtroom.
ArcaScribe automatically detects different voices (The Court, Mr. Smith, Ms. Jones) and separates them. Assign names once, and the AI applies them to the whole document, ready for Q/A formatting.
Every word is anchored to the audio timecode. Click any word in the text to instantly jump the audio to that exact moment. Perfect for spot-checking “indiscernibles” and verifying phonetics.
Stop typing from scratch. Use ArcaScribe to generate a “Rough Draft” (Scoping phase). Export to Word with your custom line numbering and headers. Then, use your foot pedal and Express Scribe for the final polish—only now, you're correcting text instead of generating it.
Most local AI tools are Mac-only. We know the legal world runs on Windows. ArcaScribe is optimized for NVIDIA GPUs and Intel Core processors on Windows, as well as Apple Silicon. One license covers you on both.
From 8-hour trial days to 5-minute arraignments. ArcaScribe handles standard WAV, MP3, M4A, and MP4 video files effortlessly. Working with Liberty or FTR? We provide built-in guides and helper scripts to assist you in exporting high-quality audio from proprietary players (Liberty Court Recorder, For The Record, JAVS) for processing in ArcaScribe.
Keep your multi-channel isolation; get the transcript faster.
