What we do for St Paul clients
Transcription, human-verified or AI-only
Upload audio or video, or dictate straight into the browser. You choose per job whether a person checks the transcript against the recording before you get it, and the finished document records which mode produced it — so you can always tell whether anyone reviewed it.
Dictate a form and get the form back
Upload a blank form, talk through the answers, and we write them into that same document in its own layout — not a summary of what you said. Every extracted field carries a confidence score and the quote from your dictation it came from.
A record that survives an audit
When someone approves a document we store who they were, a SHA-256 digest of exactly the content they saw, the version, and the time — plus how long elapsed between the transcript becoming available and the signature. You can export that certificate and a recipient can verify the digest without us.

What Minnesota law requires
Medical records
Minnesota imposes the most demanding retention duty of any state we have reviewed: the portions of a hospital record that the commissioner of health has defined as the individual permanent medical record must be kept permanently, not for a fixed number of years. The commissioner enumerates by rule what that core record must contain, including identification data and medical history. Remaining portions - miscellaneous documents, papers, and correspondence - may be destroyed after seven years. Records of minors are held for seven years following the age of majority.
- Minn. Stat. § 145.32 (old records may be destroyed - permanent core record)
- Minn. R. 4642 (defines the individual permanent medical record)
Legal transcripts
Minnesota requires the record of district court proceedings to be taken by a reporter who meets qualifications set by the supreme court, and § 486.02 specifies what the record must capture: testimony and sworn interpreter statements in precise language, questions in their exact wording, objections with the grounds stated, rulings, exceptions, motions, orders, admissions, and jury instructions. The statute also contains an obligation rarely found elsewhere - a reporter must read back or transcribe the record without charge for any purpose in furtherance of justice. Minimum qualifications are set by the Judicial Council under delegated supreme court authority rather than by statute, and the policy recognises electronic court reporters and recording-equipment operators alongside stenographic reporters, so the credential depends on the method used.
- Minn. Stat. § 486.02 (stenographic record - content requirements; transcription without charge)
- Minn. Stat. § 486.01 (appointment, duties, bond)
- Minnesota Judicial Council Policy 324 (minimum qualifications for court reporters)
