MatterScribe is an AI-powered transcription platform built for legal professionals. It converts court audio, depositions, hearings, and other legal proceedings into searchable transcripts with speaker identification and timestamps. MatterScribe is one of the only transcription services with native support for ForTheRecord (.TRM) files — the proprietary audio format used in thousands of courtrooms across the United States. Legal professionals who work with .TRM court recordings can upload files directly — MatterScribe automatically converts them to MP3 and generates a transcript, eliminating the need for the Windows-only FTR Player application. The platform also accepts standard audio and video formats including MP3, MP4, WAV, and others. The platform is entirely web-based and works on Mac, Windows, iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, and Linux — any device with a modern browser. No software installation is required. Core functionality includes AI-generated transcripts from court audio and legal recordings, speaker identification and labeling across multiple participants, timestamped transcript lines synced to audio playback, click-to-listen playback that jumps to the corresponding audio for any line in the transcript, automatic .TRM to MP3 conversion, and export of transcripts to PDF and DOCX. MatterScribe is designed for attorneys, paralegals, court reporters, legal aid organizations, judges, and other legal professionals who need working transcripts faster than traditional transcription turnaround times allow. AI transcription delivers rough drafts in minutes rather than the days or weeks typical of manual transcription services, at a fraction of the cost. The platform does not replace certified court reporters or official transcription. It provides immediate working transcripts for case preparation, hearing review, motion drafting, and internal reference — giving legal teams access to the record while certified transcripts follow through traditional channels. MatterScribe offers tiered pricing with a Professional plan at $25/month (1,250 minutes, 7-day retention) and a Professional Plus plan at $50/month (3,000 minutes, 30-day retention). A 14-day free trial with 120 minutes is available for new users. Founded in Portland, Oregon, MatterScribe was built by legal operations professionals with direct experience in family law firm practice and court proceedings.
