Bodycam of the stop
Every instruction, question, and answer from the roadside as quotable text, readable in a few minutes rather than watched in real time.
The hearing is in nine days.
Six hours of video.
A DUI file lands as bodycam, dashcam, and station video, and the license clock started at the arrest. Sonix transcribes every recording at $10 an audio hour, so the instructions, the answers, and the exchange your suppression argument rests on become text you can find in seconds.

The whole stop as text,
from first contact to booking
DUI attorneys use Sonix to turn stop footage, emergency audio, and station recordings into timestamped, speaker-labeled text they search instead of scrubbing through footage.
Dashcam & in-car video
The patrol car's angle on what was said before, during, and after the stop, timestamped alongside the bodycam.
911 & dispatch audio
The call that started the stop and the radio traffic around it, easy to set against what the officer wrote afterward.
Station & interview recordings
Booking and interview-room video comes back speaker-labeled, so what was said after the arrest reviews as easily as the stop itself.
Search across the discovery
One query runs across bodycam, dashcam, and station audio at once, surfacing the field sobriety instructions or a single phrase in seconds.
Exports for motions & hearings
Timestamped quotes go into suppression motions and hearing outlines through DOCX or PDF, each pointing back to its moment on video.
Security that holds up under
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.

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 the stop to the suppression motion
DUI moves faster than almost anything else on a defense calendar. A license hearing can land within days of the arrest, and discovery shows up as hours of video. The compression matters more here than almost anywhere: footage uploaded the day it arrives is readable, searchable text by the end of the day.
- 1Upload the discovery the day it arrives. Bodycam, dashcam, 911 audio, and the station recording, all at once. Files process in parallel, so the entire stop is transcribed in minutes rather than watched end to end.
- 2Verify the exchanges the defense turns on. Open the transcript, click a line to jump the video there, and correct the field sobriety instructions and answers before you build an argument on top of 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 motion or the hearing outline.
Short clocks, and long footage
How fast can I review DUI stop footage?
An hour of bodycam or dashcam is typically transcribed in minutes, so you read the stop rather than watch it. Skim the transcript, click any line to jump the video to that moment, and the footage is reviewed in a fraction of its runtime.
Can it find the sobriety exchange?
Search a phrase like walk and turn or follow my pen and the transcript jumps 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 stop requiring a scrub through six hours of footage.
Can I get through discovery before a license hearing?
Usually. Those hearings often land within days of an arrest, and Sonix transcribes in minutes rather than routing files through a human queue. Upload the footage the day discovery arrives and your staff can verify the working transcript the same day.
Is it secure enough for privilege?
Sonix maintains SOC 2 Type 2 compliance, encrypts recordings with AES-256 in transit and at rest, and never uses 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 it cost a solo DUI attorney?
$10 an audio hour, no subscription and no minimum. A typical stop with bodycam, dashcam, and a station interview costs a few dollars to transcribe, which is why solo practitioners transcribe every file rather than only the ones headed for trial.
How rough is roadside audio for the AI?
Rougher than a conference room, honestly. Wind, an engine, a radio, and two people talking over each other all cost accuracy. Clean passages transcribe at up to 99%, difficult ones need correcting, and the editor makes that quick: click a line, hear it, fix it, move on.
