Steno, a leading provider of court reporting services, has announced the general availability of Transcript Genius, its genAI-powered transcript analysis tool – at no additional cost. The capability will ‘empower attorneys to streamline workflows, extract key insights, and build stronger cases’, they said.
Steno was founded in 2018 with a focus on handling court reporting and its related needs, including via tech offerings. With the arrival of genAI, analysis of transcripts is the next logical step and the company is seizing the moment.
The company said that since Steno launched Transcript Genius in beta earlier this year, users have reported that it saves them an average of 2 to 4 hours per case.
