What Skribe is
Skribe is a paid web platform for capturing, searching, analyzing, and sharing legal testimony. Its plans cover uploaded recordings and Zoom depositions: Library supports audio or video uploads, rough transcripts, synced video-to-text, and shareable clips; Link can join a Zoom deposition even when the user is not the host; Live is powered by Zoom and includes a Digital Reporter to swear in the witness, track exhibits, and help manage the proceeding. Automated speech recognition creates rough transcripts, while professional transcriptionists proofread final transcripts. Live provides a same-day rough transcript and a human-verified final transcript in 5–7 days. Final transcripts include a sworn declaration that the record is accurate and word-for-word. Skribe also uses Anthropic for post-event analysis and question answering, and says customer information is not used for external training or shared with third parties for that purpose. Listed pricing is $99 per hour for Library, $129 per hour for Link, and $379 per record hour for Live, with a one-hour minimum for Live. Live is billed in six-minute increments and has a $99 cancellation fee for less than 24 hours’ notice or a no-show.
