Transcriber Queue

For Authors

Send recordings to the human transcriber queue.

Authors send recordings to the queue when human transcription is preferred over or in addition to AI-generated notes.

Send to transcriber

From a recording's actions menu or the recordings list row menu:

  1. Click Send to transcriber
  2. Set priority (Normal, High, Urgent)
  3. Optionally set a due date
  4. Add a comment with instructions for the transcriber
  5. Confirm

The recording appears in the queue for transcribers in the assigned group.

Before sending

  • Pause or finish recording so audio is uploaded
  • Wait for transcription to complete (or note if raw audio only)
  • Assign the correct group so the right transcribers see it
  • Add client/matter metadata if helpful

Track progress

Check status on the recordings list or open the recording:

  • Pending — waiting to be claimed
  • Transcribing — a transcriber is working on it
  • Review pending — completed, awaiting your approval (if group requires it)
  • Completed — finished

Review and approve

If your group requires approval, review the transcriber's work and approve or request changes.

Due dates

Workspace admins can configure automatic due dates by priority. Transcribers see due dates in the queue sorted by urgency.
