Speed vs. Security.
You shouldn't have to choose.

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. 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.

The Solution: ArcaScribe handles the first draft so you can focus on proofing, formatting and certifying.

Your Files. Your Machine. Full Stop.

“Privacy focused” is a marketing buzzword. “Offline Architecture” is a technical guarantee. When you drag an audio file into ArcaScribe, the transcription process is performed entirely by your own computer. For you, privacy isn't a preference; it's a condition of your license. ArcaScribe guarantees 100% data sovereignty.

Zero Audio Egress

Your audio is never uploaded to OpenAI, Google, or our servers.

Zero Usage Tracking

Aside from a monthly license verification, no telemetry, no analytics, no usage data leaves your machine. Your workflow stays completely private.

Zero Training

Your data is never used to train future AI models.

Offline-first

You can unplug your ethernet cable, turn off Wi-Fi, and ArcaScribe will continue transcribing. Perfect for In Camera proceedings, Child Protection matters, Grand Jury testimony, and Attorney-Client privileged dictations.

Engineered for the Certified Transcript.

Generic AI tools give you a wall of text. ArcaScribe gives you a workspace designed for the courtroom.

Automated Draft Partner

Think of ArcaScribe as your tireless junior partner. It creates a robust first draft, anchored to the audio, so you can focus on the high-value work: proofing, formatting, and certifying.

Precision Timestamping

Every sentence is anchored to the audio timecode. Click anywhere in the transcript and press Command P to jump straight to that point in the audio. Perfect for spot-checking “indiscernibles” and verifying phonetics.

AI Speaker Identification

Skip the tedious process of manually tagging every speaker change. ArcaScribe’s on-device AI automatically detects different voices in the transcript before you touch a key. Apply your custom speaker list, review and edit the suggestions, and confirm the record.

Windows & Mac Native

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.

Handles the Files the Court Throws at You.

FTR recordings? Open them directly — ArcaScribe converts .trm files on the spot. Liberty files? Our Windows guide walks you through a quick export. Standard WAV, MP3, M4A, and MP4 files work too. From 8-hour trial days to 5-minute arraignments, ArcaScribe handles whatever files you receive.

Frequently Asked Questions

ArcaScribe runs locally on your machine, so your hardware matters. On Windows, an NVIDIA GPU or a modern Intel/AMD processor is recommended. On Mac, any Apple Silicon device (M1 or later) works great. For detailed specs and benchmarks, see system requirements.
