Bodycam discovery
Hours of body-worn camera footage from every responding officer become searchable transcripts, with timestamps that tie each statement to the exact moment in the video.
Review every minute of discovery before trial
Digital discovery keeps growing: bodycam footage, jail calls, and interrogation videos arrive faster than your office can review them. Sonix transcribes all of it at $10 per audio hour, with timestamps and speaker labels your own staff verifies in the in-browser editor.

From Discovery Dump to Trial-Ready
We used to triage which recordings got reviewed and hope we picked the right ones. Now every jail call and every hour of bodycam has a searchable transcript before we sit down to prepare for trial.
Prosecutor transcription,
answered directly
How do prosecutor offices get through hours of bodycam discovery?
By transcribing it instead of watching it in real time. Sonix turns every bodycam file in the discovery dump into a timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript, usually in less time than the recording runs. Attorneys and paralegals scan and search the text, then jump straight to the moments that matter in the video.
Can Sonix transcribe jail calls at volume?
Yes. Batch-upload hundreds of recorded jail and detention calls and they process in parallel, so a week of calls can come back in minutes, not days. Each transcript is timestamped and speaker-labeled, and multi-file search lets staff scan the whole batch for names, phone numbers, and phrases.
Can I search across every recording in a case at once?
Yes. Multi-file search runs one query across every recording in the case at the same time, checking each bodycam file, jail call, and interview for a name, date, address, or phrase. Every result links to the exact timestamped moment, so you jump from hit to audio in one click.
How does Sonix help prosecutors meet disclosure deadlines?
By making review faster and the record searchable. Transcripts come back in minutes, so staff can identify relevant recordings early instead of finding them at the deadline. Timestamped, searchable text makes material easier to locate and produce on time. Your office's disclosure obligations and review standards remain entirely in your hands.
Do timestamps carry into exhibits and exports?
Yes. Exported transcripts can include timestamps at the frequency you choose, along with speaker labels. Export to DOCX or PDF for disclosure packets and trial exhibits, or to SRT and VTT subtitle formats when you need text synced to video playback in the courtroom.
How much does transcription cost for a prosecutor or DA office?
Sonix is $10 per audio hour on the pay-as-you-go plan, with volume pricing for offices on subscription and enterprise plans. That is a fraction of outsourced per-page rates, which is why offices stop rationing transcription and start transcribing every recording that arrives in discovery.
