How Lawyers Use It

From case notes to filed briefs

⚖️

Legal memos and briefs

Dictate a first draft and optionally use a custom polishing prompt. The author must verify legal language, authorities, citations, quotations, and facts.

📧

Client Correspondence

Dictate letters and emails to clients. AI polishing formats them into professional, properly structured correspondence.

📋

Case Notes & Summaries

After meetings or court sessions, dictate your notes while details are fresh. AI polishing organizes them into clear, structured summaries.

📑

Contract Review Notes

Dictate a markup note, then compare every clause reference, defined term, citation, party name, and proposed change with the source contract.

Legal Features

Legal-specific AI polishing prompts

A custom prompt can request a formal tone or paragraph structure. It cannot validate authorities or citations, so the author must check both against primary sources.

Custom dictionary for legal terminology

Add Latin terms, case names, statutes, and firm terminology, then test recognition with representative speakers and matters.

Legal software field evaluation

Test focus, insertion, protected fields, formatting, undo, provider policy, and failure recovery in Word, Clio, or the exact software used by the firm.

Reviewable routing for client confidentiality

BYOK sends audio to the configured STT endpoint. Configure a Custom Whisper-compatible STT endpoint separately from Ollama, which handles only local LLM polishing, and validate both routes for your confidentiality requirements.

FAQ

Is OpenTypeless suitable for legal dictation?

Treat it as a candidate first-draft tool and require matter-specific confidentiality checks plus attorney review of citations, authorities, and final language.

Is my dictation data secure?

Security depends on the configured STT and LLM endpoints, provider terms, retention settings, and deployment controls. Review the complete data flow before using sensitive client information.

How does it compare to Dragon Legal?

Review Dragon Legal's current edition and legal workflow documentation, then compare representative vocabulary, platforms, and current terms.

Dictate Legal Documents by Voice

The desktop app is MIT-licensed. A legal workflow still requires endpoint review, confidentiality controls, representative testing, and attorney verification.
