Privileged audio, handled with care
Client recordings and privileged conversations need a transcription path that doesn't quietly widen the circle of disclosure.
The problem
Privilege depends on confidentiality. Sending a privileged recording to a third-party service is a disclosure — and disclosure can waive the very protection you're relying on.
Courts have found that routing confidential material through consumer AI tools can waive privilege and work-product protection. Rule 1.6(c) asks you to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access; a tool that transmits, processes, and stores audio on its servers can fall short of that bar.
Disclosure can waive privilege
Handing audio to a vendor that retains and processes it can destroy the confidentiality privilege presupposes — an inadvertent waiver you can't take back.
Retention multiplies the risk
Stored recordings and transcripts become discoverable and breachable. The longer a third party holds them, the larger the exposure.
How Safe Scriber helps
- Audio is processed in memory and deleted immediately — not retained on third-party servers.
- Transcripts aren't stored on our side; they're returned to you and discarded server-side.
- Nothing is used to train models or reviewed by a person.
- Ephemeral processing keeps the disclosure surface as small as the work allows.
How it works
Upload the recording
Deposition prep, client calls, recorded statements — up to 2 GB.
Transcribe in memory
Processed live and deleted on completion; no copy is kept.
Work from the text
A clean, searchable transcript and summary, yours to file and review.
Using any external tool is still a disclosure. Safe Scriber minimizes that footprint by never retaining your files, but you remain responsible for your Rule 1.6 obligations and for obtaining client consent where required.
