Bodycam of the stop
Body-worn camera footage becomes a timestamped transcript, so every instruction, question, and answer from the stop is quotable text you can read in minutes.
The entire stop in writing, before the first hearing
A DUI file arrives as hours of bodycam, dashcam, and station video, and the clock starts immediately. Sonix transcribes every recording at $10 per audio hour, with timestamps and speaker labels your own staff verifies in the in-browser editor.

Every recording in a DUI case,
transcribed and searchable
DUI defense attorneys use Sonix to turn stop footage, emergency audio, and station recordings into timestamped, speaker-labeled transcripts they can search in seconds instead of scrubbing video for hours.
Dashcam & in-car video
Patrol car dashcam and in-car recordings transcribed with timestamps, capturing what was said before, during, and after the stop from a second vantage point.
911 & dispatch audio
The call that started the stop and the radio traffic around it become searchable text, easy to compare against what the officer later wrote in the report.
Station & interview recordings
Booking and interview-room recordings turn into speaker-labeled transcripts, so statements made after the arrest are as easy to review as the stop itself.
Search across discovery
Multi-file search runs one query across bodycam, dashcam, and station audio at once, surfacing the field sobriety instructions or a single phrase from the stop in seconds.
Exports for motions & hearings
Pull timestamped quotes into suppression motions and hearing outlines by exporting to DOCX or PDF, with each quote pointing back to its exact moment on video.
Security that stands up to legal scrutiny
Privileged client recordings demand more than promises. Every claim below is part of how Sonix runs today, and it can all be verified before you upload a single file.
SOC 2 Type II certified
Independently audited every year against the highest standards for security, availability, and confidentiality — with continuous monitoring of 100+ internal controls.
HIPAA BAA available
Sonix signs Business Associate Agreements on Enterprise plans and implements the required safeguards — relevant for personal-injury, medical-malpractice, and health-records evidence.
No AI training on your data
Nothing you upload is ever used to train our systems — or anyone else's. Your recordings and transcripts remain strictly confidential and are never sold or shared.
Encrypted at every layer
TLS encryption for every transfer and AES-256 server-side encryption at rest — one of the strongest block ciphers available — across our database and file storage.
Role-based access & 2FA
Grant and revoke team access quickly with multiple permission levels, require two-factor authentication, and password-protect shared files.
You control your data
View, export, and delete your files at any time — deleted audio and transcripts are completely wiped. GDPR-ready, with DPA and SCC available on request.
From arrest to hearing,
with the stop in writing
A DUI case moves faster than almost anything else on a defense calendar. License hearings can arrive within days of the arrest, and discovery lands as hours of bodycam, dashcam, and station video. Sonix compresses the review: footage uploaded the day it arrives is readable, searchable text the same afternoon.
- 1Upload the discovery the day it arrives. Drop bodycam, dashcam, 911 audio, and the interview-room recording into Sonix at once. Files process in parallel, so the entire stop is transcribed in minutes instead of watched in real time.
- 2Verify the exchanges the defense turns on. Open the transcript in the in-browser editor, click a line to jump the video to that moment, and correct the field sobriety instructions and answers before you build an argument on them.
- 3Walk into the hearing having read every word. Search every recording for the phrase that matters, compare what the officer said on camera with what the report says, and export timestamped quotes into the suppression motion or hearing outline.
DUI transcription, answered directly
How fast can I review DUI stop footage with Sonix?
A one-hour bodycam or dashcam file is typically transcribed in minutes, so you read the stop instead of watching it in real time. Skim the transcript, click any line to jump the video to that moment, and you have reviewed the footage in a fraction of its runtime.
Can Sonix find the exact field sobriety exchange?
Yes. Search a phrase like walk and turn or follow my pen and the transcript jumps straight to that exchange, timestamped back to the video. Instructions, client responses, and officer commentary are all text, so the moments a suppression argument turns on surface in seconds.
Can I get through discovery before a license hearing?
Usually, yes. License hearings often arrive within days of an arrest, and Sonix transcribes recordings in minutes rather than routing them through a human queue. Upload the footage the day discovery arrives, and your staff can verify the working transcript in the in-browser editor that same day.
Is Sonix secure enough for privileged client recordings?
Yes. Sonix maintains SOC 2 Type II compliance, encrypts recordings with AES-256 in transit and at rest, and never uses your uploads to train AI models. Permissions control who at the firm can open each file, so a privileged recording stays with the people working that case.
What does Sonix cost for a solo DUI attorney?
Sonix is $10 per audio hour on the pay-as-you-go plan, with no subscription or minimum. A typical stop with bodycam, dashcam, and a station interview costs a few dollars to transcribe, so solo practitioners transcribe every case instead of only the ones headed to trial.
How fast are transcripts back before a hearing?
A one-hour recording is typically ready in minutes, and files process in parallel, so a full discovery batch uploaded in the evening is searchable the same night. There is no human review queue: your team verifies transcripts in the editor as soon as they are ready.
