What Should Court Reporters Know About Transcript Genius?

Learn how Transcript Genius works with certified transcripts

At Steno, we believe technology should enhance, not replace, the critical work of court reporters. Here's what you need to know about how Transcript Genius interfaces with court reporting:

What is Transcript Genius?

Transcript Genius is Steno's AI-powered transcript analysis tool that helps attorneys analyze testimony and prepare cases more efficiently.  It allows attorneys to analyze transcripts and generate insights while preserving all original citations.

Is Transcript Genius Available to Both Sides of a Case?

Yes. Transcript Genius is available to all parties participating in a Steno-hosted proceeding. Any attorney who sets up a Steno dashboard and orders a certified transcript can access Transcript Genius at no additional cost. This ensures equal access to analytical capabilities for all parties involved in litigation.

What Types of Transcripts Can Be Used with Transcript Genius?

Attorneys can upload and analyze any transcript file in .txt format through Transcript Genius. However, it's important to note that Transcript Genius is an analysis tool, not a transcript production tool. It helps attorneys review and understand testimony but does not generate or modify transcripts.

How Does This Technology Affect Court Reporting?

Transcript Genius complements court reporting by providing analytical capabilities that help attorneys better utilize transcripts. It does not replace or diminish the essential role of court reporters in creating accurate, certified transcripts of legal proceedings.

Does Transcript Genius Replace the Need for Certified Transcripts?

Not at all. Transcript Genius is strictly an analysis tool - it does not create, modify, or replace certified transcripts. Court reporters remain essential for producing accurate, certified records of legal proceedings. Transcript Genius simply helps attorneys analyze those records more efficiently.

How Does This Benefit Court Reporters?

By making transcripts more valuable and actionable for attorneys, Transcript Genius enhances the importance of high-quality certified transcripts. This technology represents progress in legal tools while honoring the irreplaceable expertise of court reporters.

How Does Transcript Genius Handle Privacy and Security?

Transcript Genius adheres to the same rigorous security standards that all Steno services have. All data is protected by SOC2 Type II and HIPAA-compliant systems. Your transcripts are never used to train AI models and our AI partners do not retain your data after a Transcript Genius session. Visit our Trust Center to learn more.
