Finalist / S O L U T I O N P R O V I D E R O F T H E Y E A R S teno's Transcript Genius is transforming deposition analysis through AI-powered litigation workflows designed specifically for legal practice. Built on Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4.6 model, the platform transforms deposition transcripts into structured, court- ready work product with verifiable page-and-line citations, allowing attorneys to engage in open-ended conversations with their transcripts to explore testimony however their case preparation demands. This level of flexibility enables attorneys to generate summaries, cross-examination outlines, timelines, contradiction analyses, exhibit suggestions, and much more. In 2025, Steno introduced a major advancement with PDF and OCR ingestion capabilities, enabling firms to analyze legacy and third-party transcripts that previously sat outside modern AI workflows. Using proprietary page-classification and mapping technology, Transcript Genius converts scanned or non-standard PDFs into legally usable transcript references rather than simple PDF page citations. The staged rollout moved multiple enterprise clients from pilot programs into full production deployment during 2025. In February 2026, Steno further enhanced Transcript Genius with synchronized video review. For depositions where a firm has ordered Text-to-Video Sync, attorneys can now watch synchronized deposition video directly alongside the transcript within Steno's Firm Dashboard without opening external tools. The sync is bidirectional, so when Transcript Genius surfaces a contradiction or key admission, attorneys can immediately verify not only the words, but also the tone and demeanor that will determine how that testimony is used at trial. Law firms using Transcript Genius report transcript review time reductions of up to 90%, transforming multi-day review projects into hours. Attorneys at firms, including Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein LLP, Burneikis Law, Cohen & Marzban, and McMullin Injury Law, cite improvements in motion practice, deposition preparation, and strategic analysis through contextual multi- transcript review and objective-driven outputs. Unlike general AI legal tools, Transcript Genius prioritizes evidentiary reliability, reduced hallucination risk, and attorney verification. The platform has direct source linking, SOC 2 Type II controls, HIPAA alignment, and zero data retention agreements with Anthropic to support responsible AI adoption in litigation. steno.com Steno W E B S I T E L O G O PRODUCT Court Reporting Service Steno's Transcript Genius applies AI to deposition transcript analysis, producing summaries, cross-examination outlines, timelines, and contradiction analysis with accurate page-and-line citations.
