What changes when it is legal services
Code-mixing is normal in Indian speech and a general model often mishandles it. We test specifically for the switch points.
In legal services, privilege and confidentiality mean data handling is scrutinised more than model performance. That single fact reshapes how speech recognition & transcription has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is precedent research, usually integrated against e-discovery platforms. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.
The sector constraints we design around

Questions from this sector
Does using AI risk privilege?
Not if the deployment keeps data inside your control, on-premise or a dedicated tenancy with no training on your content. That is the arrangement we build by default for legal work.
Can it be trusted on case law?
Only with retrieval grounding and citations to real sources. Unguarded models fabricate citations, which is precisely why we never ship legal work without source verification.
How accurate is it for Indian accents?
Good and improving, but the honest answer depends on audio quality, accent and domain. We benchmark word error rate on your own recordings before you commit.
Can it separate speakers?
Yes, speaker diarisation labels who said what, which is essential for clinical, legal and contact-centre records.
Does the audio leave our environment?
Only if you allow it. We can deploy fully on-premise where confidentiality or regulation requires it.
