The challenge
The team handled thousands of calls each month across multiple carriers and formats. Staff spent hours per recording on transcription, redaction, labeling, and summary preparation before any substantive review could begin.
- Massive manual bottleneck: Heavy manual effort created backlogs, inconsistent formatting, and review fatigue. Time-sensitive cases risked delays and missed details.
- Scaling without adding headcount: Leaders needed a secure, repeatable system that would scale with demand without sacrificing accuracy or turnaround.
- Strict governance requirements: The firm required strict access controls, encrypted storage, and audit-friendly exports to align with legal workflows and client policies.
The solution
Speak AI replaced fragmented tools with one secure environment for capture, transcription, and analysis at scale.
Bulk media ingestion
Continuous call uploads across providers with automatic routing to the right matters and teams. Handles thousands of files with consistent organization.

Structured exports
CSV and DOCX exports feed downstream legal templates, filing packets, and client reporting. Audit-friendly outputs support compliance and quality assurance.
