Transcriber Queue

Transcriber Queue

Route recordings to eligible transcribers and track their progress.

The Transcriber Queue gives authors and transcribers a controlled workflow for human transcription and document preparation.

The queue requires a Pro or Enterprise workspace. Transcriber seats are free and do not use a paid fee-earner or administrator seat.

How queue work moves

Author submits work > Eligible transcriber claims it > Transcriber works on it > Complete or review

The recording remains workspace data. The author remains responsible for checking the completed work before it is relied on or shared.

Routing and access

Groups route queue items to the appropriate pool of transcribers. Group membership alone does not grant access to a recording or its matter.

Queue access comes from the user's permissions and the recording's queue assignment. That assignment is a specialist exception for the recording, not a Matter grant. Removing an item from the queue does not create a continuing right to access it.

Queue status

StatusMeaning
PendingAvailable to an eligible transcriber
ClaimedA transcriber is working on the item
Review pendingThe configured group requires author or approver review
CompletedQueue work is complete

Conditional approval

Approval is optional and configured for the routing group. When approval is required, completing transcription moves the item to Review pending. The author or permitted approver can then approve the work or request changes.

When approval is not required, the transcriber can complete the queue item directly.
