AI transcriptions are huge time and money savers and are up to 90% accurate. WireTap also analyzes the transcripts for you, with summaries, evidence flagging and key-word searches.

In today’s fast-paced legal environment, the ability to accurately and rapidly process audio evidence can make or break a case. Investigators, prosecutors, and law enforcement agencies are constantly inundated with hundreds of hours of jail calls, suspect interviews, wiretaps, and surveillance audio—each of which could contain critical clues, admissions, or exonerating statements. But sifting through it all? That’s a daunting, time-consuming task.

Enter WireTap—a specialized legal transcript generator designed to revolutionize how audio evidence is processed, analyzed, and leveraged in criminal investigations.


What Is WireTap?

WireTap is an AI-powered legal transcription and analysis platform purpose-built for law enforcement and prosecutorial use. Unlike generic transcription tools, WireTap was designed from the ground up with the demands of the legal system in mind. Whether it's jail calls, video calls, or witness interviews, WireTap enables teams to turn audio into searchable, organized, and actionable transcripts in minutes.

WireTap isn't just a transcription tool—it's a workflow solution. With intuitive tools to flag key evidence, cross-reference hundreds of calls, and organize data into readable, exportable formats, WireTap empowers investigators to move faster, build stronger cases, and never miss critical evidence hiding in hours of audio.


Why Legal Professionals Need a Transcript Generator

Traditional methods of audio review rely heavily on manual transcription, delayed outsourcing, or guesswork—each of which drains time, budgets, and personnel resources. Legal teams often face obstacles like:

  • Backlogged audio files from multiple ongoing cases

  • Labor-intensive transcription that can take weeks

  • Most calls don't contain evidence and waste time.

  • Non-searchable formats that make data nearly useless in complex investigations

With WireTap, legal teams are equipped with an on-demand legal transcript generator that eliminates those bottlenecks and accelerates the path from raw audio to easily readable and searchable transcripts.


Key Features of WireTap

1. Accurate, AI-Powered Transcription

WireTap uses a high end insdustry standard Natural Language Processing API to transcribe hours of your audio and video evidence in minutes. The result? Lightening fast transcripts that generally require minimal cleanup.

2. Speaker Detection and Timestamping

Each speaker in a call is clearly labeled and timestamped. This makes it easy to follow conversations, isolate key exchanges, and reference specific moments for court, reports, or affidavits.

3. Keyword Flagging and Smart Search

With WireTap’s intelligent keyword detection, users can flag terms like “gun,” “money,” “kill,” or names of interest. The tool automatically highlights and indexes these terms, allowing investigators to jump straight to high-value segments without wading through irrelevant chatter.

4. Case File Organization

WireTap enables agencies to upload, group, and manage calls by case, defendant, or event. This case-based structure ensures nothing falls through the cracks and allows teams to revisit transcripts as investigations evolve.

5. User-Friendly Interface

Designed with frontline prosecutors and detectives in mind, the WireTap interface is simple, intuitive, and easy to navigate. Even non-technical users can upload audio, view transcripts, flag evidence, and export documents within minutes.

6. Secure, Compliant Infrastructure

WireTap is built on a secure backend infrastructure. All data is encrypted, and access is role-based—ensuring chain-of-custody integrity and compliance with privacy laws and evidentiary standards.

7. Multi-Speaker Time Stamped Calls

WireTap excels where most tools fail—transcribing jail calls. It understands the unique constraints of calls routed through correctional facility systems, making it the ideal legal transcript generator for jails and correctional investigators. It will separately identify computer intros, the speakers in the calls and time stamp the conversations, in addition to an AI summary at the top of each transcript, making jail call review fast and easy.

Use Cases for WireTap

WireTap is optimized for a wide range of legal scenarios, including:

  • Reviewing jail phone calls for criminal admissions or witness tampering

  • Creating searchable records of interviews with witnesses, suspects, or victims

  • Building comprehensive timelines of events by cross-referencing multiple transcripts

  • Supporting discovery requests with clean, timestamped transcripts (accompanied by the underlying audio, AI transcripts still contain errors and must be double checked for accuracy prior to official use!)


Benefits of Using WireTap

The benefits of adopting WireTap into your legal workflow are immediate and long-lasting:

⏱ Save Time

Reduce audio review time from days to minutes. Free up prosecutors and investigators to focus on strategy, not transcription or listening to useless calls.

💼 Strengthen Cases

Identify critical statements, threats, admissions, or inconsistencies buried in hours of recordings.

🔍 Increase Visibility

Easily revisit and review key phrases or topics across multiple audio files, creating an instant digital paper trail.

💡 Unlock Missed Evidence

Don’t let subtle phrases or background chatter slip past. WireTap’s AI identifies and flags them for your attention.

📂 Improve Organization

Group and label files by case, generate exportable PDFs or Word docs, and centralize your audio evidence for team-wide access.


Why WireTap Stands Apart

While many transcription services exist, few are built for the demands of criminal justice work. WireTap was created by a prosecutor for prosecutors, detectives and investigators—with insight into what it actually takes to build cases, manage files, and comply with tight timelines and ethical obligations.

WireTap isn’t a consumer-grade speech-to-text service repurposed for law. It’s a battle-tested, investigator-approved platform tailored to the real needs of modern legal teams. Agencies using WireTap are already saving hours of manpower, recovering missed evidence, and dramatically improving workflow efficiency.
