How a legal tech company saved 8 months and $100K+ building a white-label deposition platform
A fast-growing legal technology company partnered with Speak AI to launch a fully branded capture-to-analysis flow for Zoom-based depositions. Instead of building an end-to-end media pipeline in-house, they integrated Speak AI’s APIs and webhooks to deliver clean, speaker-labeled transcripts with timestamps — reaching market 8 months faster.

The challenge
A fast-growing legal technology company needed to capture Zoom-based depositions and other testimony at scale, then deliver clean, speaker-labeled transcripts with timestamps — fully white-labeled inside their own platform. Building the end-to-end media pipeline would have required a dedicated team, significant cloud spend, and months of engineering.
- Speed and reliability: Same-day rough transcripts and synced video were essential, but building a full media stack in-house was impractical on their timeline.
- White-label first: Every touchpoint — links, recorder, dashboards — had to reflect the client’s brand, not a third-party tool.
- Structured outputs: Accurate speaker diarization, timestamps, and formatting suitable for legal workflows were non-negotiable.
- Automation: The system needed to schedule links in advance, auto-join sessions, and deliver results via webhooks without manual intervention.
The solution
Speak AI provided the white-label capture layer, transcription and synchronization pipeline, and a robust developer surface designed for high-volume legal use cases.
Branded capture and scheduling
Schedule links in advance, auto-join depositions, record in the background, and route artifacts to the right matter. Every touchpoint carries the client’s brand.
Near real-time transcripts
Rough text plus timecodes available in minutes, not hours. Synced media ready for rapid review. Same-day reviewable text for every deposition session.
Speaker identification and structured output
Diarized transcripts with consistent formatting for export into downstream legal tools. Clean, structured output ready for compliance checks, call scoring, and review workflows.
Webhooks and API automation
Granular lifecycle events (ingest, process, complete) notify the client’s system to trigger next steps. Optional branded viewing libraries with fine-grained access controls.
