Legal Dictation for Lawyers and Consultants
Draft Memos, Letters, and Contracts With Your Voice
You already know what the document has to say. Speaking it takes a few minutes, and typing it takes the rest of the afternoon. Free to start
The Part of the Work That Is Not Thinking
By the time you sit down to write the memo, the hard part is over. You know what the answer is, you know which way you are going to recommend, and you know the two points that have to be in there. What is left is transcription from your own head, and it takes the rest of the afternoon.
That is the part worth attacking. The judgment is what the client is paying for. The keyboard is just how long it takes to get the judgment out of you and onto a page.
Legal dictation is not a new idea in this profession. Letters still go out with "dictated but not read" at the bottom, and firms have been buying dictation software for thirty years. What has changed is that you no longer need a handset, a transcriptionist, or a desktop client that has to be licensed by version.
Speaking runs at around 220 words per minute and typing at around 45. Say the memo the way you would explain it to the partner in the doorway, then edit. Voiskey clears out the fillers and false starts and gives you a draft with the structure already in it.
What Lawyers and Consultants Dictate
Memos and Advice Notes
The one where you already know the recommendation and the work is getting it down in order. Say the facts, the assessment, and the recommendation, then edit.
Client Letters and Emails
The letter that has been sitting in draft since the call because writing it properly takes forty minutes you do not have.
Contract Comments and Markups
The reasoning behind the redline, which is the part that actually gets read on the other side.
Interview and Meeting Notes
Say what mattered on the walk back from the room, while you still remember which answer was the one that changed things.
Research Notes
Talk through what a case or a source actually stands for as you go, instead of stopping to type a comment after every paragraph.
Deliverables and Reports
The section you have explained out loud to three colleagues and written down zero times.
Long Documents in Word
Most of what leaves a firm is a Word document. The memo, the advice note, the deliverable, the letter that gets printed and signed.
Voice to text in Microsoft Word works the same way it works anywhere else. Open the document, click into it, and talk. What comes out is not a wall of transcript: a spoken argument lands with headings, numbered points, and the recommendation sitting where a reader expects to find it.
That matters more on a long document than on a short one. A three-line message survives being one paragraph. A twelve-page memo does not, and reformatting a transcript by hand costs back most of what you saved by speaking it.
The same holds in Outlook for the letter, in Google Docs and Notion if that is where your team drafts, and in the case or matter system your firm runs on. Voiskey works at the input level rather than inside one application.
It Gets the Names and Citations Right
This is where general-purpose dictation falls over in the first paragraph. Party names, matter numbers, the deal codename, defined terms that are capitalised for a reason, the client's legal entity spelled the way it is spelled on the signature page rather than the way people say it out loud.
A document that gets one of those wrong does not read as a typo. It reads as carelessness, on a document whose whole job is to look careful.
Voiskey learns them. Add a party name, a matter reference, a defined term, or a house style preference, and it stops guessing. That vocabulary follows you across devices, so the terms you taught it at your desk are already there when you dictate a note on the way out of a meeting.
Privacy Mode
The first question anyone in this profession asks about a dictation tool is where the words go.
Voiskey has a privacy mode. With it on, your voice input is not collected and is not used to train AI models, and your history stays on your own device.
What that does not do is make a compliance judgment for you. Whether a given tool is appropriate for a given matter is a call your firm makes, and the details of how data is handled are set out in the Privacy Policy rather than summarised here.
Works Where the Work Product Lives
Voiskey works anywhere you can type, so there is nothing for IT to install firm-wide and no integration to approve. Word and Outlook for the document and the letter. Google Docs and Notion if that is where your team drafts. Teams and Slack for the internal thread. Excel for the schedule. Your document management and matter system, your research tools, and the browser tab you have a client portal open in.
You also do not have to talk at full volume. Voiskey picks up softer speech, including a whisper, which is worth knowing about in an open office or a shared workroom.

FAQ s
It is the same idea without the equipment. No handset, no transcriptionist in the loop, no desktop client licensed by version, and nothing that only works inside one program. You speak into whatever you were already typing into, and the text appears there.
Yes, privacy mode. It is a toggle rather than a separate plan, so it applies to everything you dictate for as long as it is on. What it covers is set out in the privacy section above, and the Privacy Policy has the detail. Whether a particular tool is appropriate for a particular matter is still your firm's call.
Yes. There is no time limit on a session, so a full memo or a long advice note can come out in one pass rather than in chunks. It works on speech as you say it, so you dictate live rather than uploading a recording afterwards.
Yes, once it has seen them. Teach it a term the first time it comes up and it will spell it the same way every time after that, on your laptop and on your phone.
Enough for a normal week of letters, notes, and internal updates. New accounts start on Pro for a month, inviting friends adds up to two more, and the free plan after that gives you 2,000 words a week that never expire.
