Use Case

Arbitration Hearing Transcription for Nigerian Legal Teams

Transcribe arbitration hearings and proceedings with speaker labels and timestamps for case files, in English or Nigerian Pidgin.

Arbitration in Lagos or Abuja often means a hearing room with counsel from two sides, an arbitrator, and witnesses, all on record, and someone on your team needing a clean transcript before the next filing deadline. Autrans transcribes the full hearing with speaker labels so submissions from claimant's counsel, respondent's counsel, and the tribunal are clearly separated, and word-level timestamps so you can pull an exact exchange for your written submissions without scrubbing through hours of audio. AI-generated summaries and action items help your team quickly recall what was agreed or contested in a procedural hearing. Export to DOCX for drafting or PDF for the case file. Recordings are never used to train AI, which matters when the substance of the hearing is confidential.

Frequently asked questions

Can Autrans tell the difference between counsel and the arbitrator in the transcript?

Yes, speaker labels separate distinct voices in the recording, so submissions, questions, and rulings from different participants are clearly marked in the transcript.

Is this a certified or official transcript for tribunal records?

No, Autrans produces a working transcript for your team's internal use, drafting, and reference. It is not a certified court or tribunal transcript, and you should check your tribunal's rules on official record requirements.

Can I search the transcript for a specific exchange later?

Yes, the text transcript with timestamps makes it easy to locate a specific exchange, and you can jump to the exact moment in the audio using the timestamp.

Is the hearing recording kept confidential?

Your audio is never used to train AI models. Given the confidential nature of arbitration, we recommend following your firm's own data handling policy when uploading sensitive recordings.
