Verbatim Voices

Verbatim Voices

Read me the room.

Upload a typed court transcript and hear it read back with a different voice for each speaker, so you can follow who said what without reading every page.

Every word is read from the court's official written transcript of this public hearing (U.S. v. Trump, D.D.C., Oct. 16, 2023). The voices are computer-generated. This is not a court recording, and the written transcript remains the official record.

How it works

  1. Upload

    Send us your own transcript file. It travels encrypted the whole way.

  2. We cast the voices

    Each speaker (the judge, the clerk, each attorney, each witness) gets their own distinct voice.

  3. Listen or watch

    Play it in the car, on a walk, or follow along on screen. A short Docket Brief summary plays first, then the full verbatim record.

What you get

  • MP3 audio

    One file with chapters, so you can jump straight to the record, plus case tags (court, case, date) so it stays organized in your player.

  • Timed captions

    SRT and VTT caption files with speaker labels, ready for any video player or for searching the text.

  • Read-along video

    An MP4 that shows the real transcript page scrolling along, with each word lighting up as it's spoken and the speaker's name beside it.

  • Docket Brief

    A short spoken summary at the start: the court, the case, the date, and who's speaking. It's clearly labeled as a summary, not part of the record.

  • Built-in legal lexicon

    Courtroom terms, Latin phrases, and court abbreviations are spoken the way lawyers say them, and the list keeps growing as users send in corrections.

Who it's for

  • People representing themselves

    Go back over your own hearing at your own pace, without struggling through a hundred pages of dense text.

  • Families

    Understand what happened in court for someone you care about, in plain listening time.

  • Attorneys and paralegals

    Review the record on a commute, and use the captions to find the exact moment you need.

  • Anyone who'd rather listen

    For people with low vision, dyslexia, or simply tired eyes, long transcripts are easier to hear than to read.

Your privacy, in plain words

  • You upload your own file. We only work with what you choose to send.
  • It travels encrypted. Your file is protected on the way to us and on the way back to you.
  • We don't keep your documents. Your transcript is used only to make your audio and read-along. As soon as your files are ready, the original and every working copy are deleted from our system. We never sell or share your documents.
  • Voices come from Amazon Polly. Your text is sent to Amazon's text-to-speech service (Amazon Polly) only to generate the voices.
  • Your documents are never used for training. Not to train AI models, ours or anyone else's.
  • No partner app ever passes us your data. The only way a file reaches us is when you upload it yourself.
  • Protected names stay protected. Anything the court blacked out stays blacked out. The narrator says "redacted" and never guesses what's underneath. You can also swap real names for court-style labels like "Witness 1" or "Minor Child A.B." before you share.
