The conversation about AI in the legal industry is loud right now, and we wanted to talk about what it actually means for court reporters.

Our court reporting team and attorney and professor Joe Stephens sat down for a Town Hall, where we took a candid look at legal technology and Steno's AI-powered analysis tool, Transcript Genius. Spoiler: your work isn't just safe with us, it's essential to everything we're building. Then we opened it up, because your questions deserved real answers.

What we covered:

How attorneys use Transcript Genius and why it only works because of you
A demonstration of Transcript Genius in action
Your questions, concerns, and ideas — we heard it all
