Local-processing audio transcription for legal, healthcare, and finance. Flat $29/mo. Unlimited minutes. Your recordings are destroyed after transcription — by design, not policy.
The industry's dirty secret: your most sensitive recordings are sitting on vendor servers right now, unencrypted, indefinitely, waiting for the next breach notice.
Users sued after Otter.ai recordings were accessed by third parties without consent. The suit alleged BIPA violations and unauthorized sharing of voice data with AI training datasets.
Source: Multiple class action filings, 2023–2024When your transcription vendor stores audio in the cloud, you inherit their attack surface. One misconfigured S3 bucket exposes every deposition, therapy session, and M&A call you've ever uploaded.
A long deposition or full-day workshop can blow your monthly budget. Rev charges $0.25/min automated, $1.99/min human. Sonix charges $10/hr. Your costs scale with your risk.
A typical law firm running 40 hours of depositions monthly would pay this with competitors:
Three architectural decisions that make SecureScribe fundamentally different — and legally defensible.
Audio is processed on your hardware using our on-premises transcription engine. Nothing is transmitted to external servers. The audio never leaves your network boundary.
Source files are cryptographically destroyed immediately after transcription completes. You control the retention policy: instant deletion or up to 24 hours. Zero residual storage.
Tamper-proof records of every transcription event: upload time, transcription duration, deletion timestamp, and method. Regulator-ready without exposing the underlying content.
Every file is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3. SHA-256 checksums verify integrity. At no point is unencrypted audio accessible outside your authenticated session.
Unlimited transcription minutes per user. No overage charges. No per-minute billing. Transcribe an 8-hour deposition for the same price as a 5-minute voicemail.
Department-level isolation, role-based access, and admin oversight. Your compliance officer can verify controls without reading transcripts. Built for multi-user firms.
Every competitor stores your audio in the cloud. That's not a configuration problem — it's their business model.

A BAA and a privacy policy are only as good as the vendor's last security audit. With SecureScribe, the data doesn't exist to be breached.
PHI never leaves your infrastructure. Local processing eliminates the need for a third-party BAA on audio data. Audit logs provide the documentation trail for OCR investigations.
Data minimization and storage limitation are built into the architecture. Audio is deleted immediately post-transcription by default — not as a feature, as the only option.
Access controls, audit trails, and encryption practices are designed around SOC 2 Type II criteria. Security, availability, and confidentiality commitments documented and verifiable.
Every request is authenticated. Role-based access controls limit who can see what. Checksums verify file integrity throughout the pipeline. Nothing is assumed safe.
The entire process — from upload to transcript — is designed so your audio never reaches a third-party server. Not by configuration, by architecture.
Drag and drop any audio file directly from your device. Transfer is encrypted end-to-end with TLS 1.3. Your file moves from your browser to your SecureScribe server — nothing else.
🔒 AES-256 + TLS 1.3 in transitAudio is processed using a server-side transcription engine running on your infrastructure. No audio payload is ever forwarded to an external AI cloud. The transcript is generated entirely within your network boundary.
✓ 100% local processingThe moment transcription completes, the source audio is permanently destroyed — overwritten, not just unlinked. You receive the transcript. The audio never existed, as far as any auditor, attacker, or subpoena is concerned.
🔥 Permanent destruction, loggedWhy this matters: With cloud transcription tools, your audio sits on vendor servers indefinitely. With SecureScribe, there is no vendor copy to breach, subpoena, or accidentally expose. The attack surface is zero — because the data is gone.
Legal, healthcare, insurance, and financial compliance teams choose SecureScribe because the architecture eliminates the problem — not just the paperwork.
"We'd been looking for a transcription tool that didn't require us to sign a third-party BAA for audio data. SecureScribe is the first one that eliminates the problem entirely — there's nothing to BAA because there's no vendor copy."
"After the Otter.ai class action, our managing partner told us to find an alternative immediately. SecureScribe was the only solution where I could confidently say: our deposition audio never touches a third-party server."
"Verbit was quoting us $800/month for enterprise compliance features. SecureScribe gives us better privacy guarantees at $29/user — and we don't need a dedicated compliance call to justify the architecture."
No per-minute billing. No storage caps. No overage charges. Just $29/user/month and unlimited peace of mind.
For independent practitioners and solo professionals.
For law firms, medical practices, and finance teams. Minimum 3 users.
For large organizations with custom compliance requirements.
