Verbit

What Is Verbit?

Verbit is a transcription tool that converts depositions, hearings, witness interviews, trials, and recorded evidence into searchable transcripts for law firms, attorneys, courts, and litigation teams. Its proprietary Captivate™ Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) engine is trained to recognize industry-specific language and can be customized with legal terminology, names, acronyms, and preferred spellings. This gives legal teams a transcription process that can account for the specialized language used in their cases and legal proceedings.

The software also combines AI transcription with optional human review. Teams can use AI-generated transcripts for initial case analysis and request human review when they need a more thoroughly checked record for formal use. For legal teams, this means turning case-related audio into a searchable legal record. They can then review and analyze the transcript without having to rely solely on manual transcription and transcript review.

What Is Verbit Best For?

The platform stands out with Legal Visor, its real-time deposition intelligence tool, which helps litigators identify admissions, inconsistencies, and follow-up opportunities while testimony is still underway. Rather than waiting for a transcript to be reviewed after the proceeding, attorneys can see relevant insights as testimony unfolds and use them to guide follow-up questions.

Legal Visor can also compare testimony with prior transcripts and case materials, helping attorneys identify changes or contradictions across the record. These findings can inform witness questioning, highlight areas that need further investigation, and shape preparation for motions, mediation, or trial. After the proceeding, AI-generated summaries and searchable transcripts help teams review key testimony, which could reduce the need to manually work through every minute of the recording. For litigation teams handling complex cases with multiple witnesses or large volumes of testimony, this could help turn testimony into evidence that informs case strategy.

Verbit Use Cases

Based on our analysis of Verbit’s current capabilities, we have identified key scenarios where the software can fit specific legal and investigative needs:

Preparing For Depositions Where Testimony May Conflict With The Case Record

During a deposition, an attorney may hear an admission or a change in a witness’s account but have limited time to compare it with earlier testimony. Legal Visor can highlight inconsistencies, admissions, and follow-up opportunities as testimony unfolds, giving the attorney information to consider while questioning can still be adjusted. It can help attorneys pursue relevant lines of questioning while the witness is still on the record, rather than identifying the issue during transcript review later.

Examining Multiple Witness Accounts In Employment Defense

Employment disputes often involve statements from employees, managers, and other witnesses about workplace events or company policies. Verbit can transcribe these interviews and depositions into searchable records that attorneys can review alongside other case materials. This can make it easier to locate differences between accounts when assessing the facts of an employment dispute.

Reviewing Claim-Related Testimony In Insurance Defense

Verbit can generate transcripts from recorded statements, examinations under oath, depositions, and witness testimony collected throughout an insurance claim. Attorneys can search these transcripts to compare what claimants and witnesses said at different stages of the case. This could make it easier to identify changes in statements, conflicting accounts, or facts that might need further investigation.  It gives defense teams a clearer view of the evidence that could shape their case strategy.

Producing Final Transcripts For Court Filings And Legal Records

Law enforcement agencies may have to work through 911 calls, interviews, interrogations, body-worn camera footage, and surveillance recordings. The platform can convert these recordings into accessible, timestamped transcripts. Investigators can use the transcripts to locate relevant sections, so they might not have to listen to entire files repeatedly. They can also search for specific names, statements, or events and return to the relevant point in the evidence more directly, which can assist them in reviewing large volumes of recorded material.

Is Verbit Right For You?

Verbit could be a good fit for law firms, courts, reporting agencies, and legal departments that handle high or recurring volumes of legal recordings and need flexible transcript options and turnaround times.

The software is compliant with ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA standards. Its security measures include encrypted data, access controls, customer data segregation, identity and access management, vulnerability management, and security incident response.

Verbit also supports a range of transcription and translation needs across organizations outside the legal sector, including education, government, healthcare, media, market research, corporate communications, and Learning and Development teams.

The software has also released Captivate Post Plus, which combines AI-powered media captioning with human review. This gives content teams a way to accelerate caption production while retaining human oversight before content is distributed. The functionality could be useful for organizations managing high volumes of recorded or published content.
