What SoniClear RealTime 10 is
SoniClear RealTime 10 is Windows software for live AI speech-to-text during court proceedings, depositions, and hearings. Audio travels over an internet connection to a cloud transcription server, with text appearing in 1–2 seconds. During transcription, users can correct wording and speaker attribution, while the software assigns speakers by order of appearance. Live, Edit, and Final Draft views cover incoming text, transcript editing, and legal-format output with line and page numbers. Edit view groups text by speaker turn, supports full-text search, and accepts freeform or marker-based notes. Each view exports as text, including a rough ASCII draft or a clean word-processing version. The product page says ten languages are supported; the FAQ names English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese and supports simultaneous English and Spanish. Integration with Court Recorder 10 synchronizes transcript, audio, and reporter notes. SoniClear says data is encrypted, transcripts are removed from cloud storage after completion, and the transcript remains on the user’s computer. Pricing is available from a Product Consultant, with cloud usage billed by session time.
