Professional Exports
One-click PDF and Word exports with your firm's letterhead, logo, brand colours and confidentiality footer automatically applied.
Smart Review New
One click turns a raw transcript into a clean document. Spoken formatting commands are applied, secretary instructions highlighted, and urgent deadlines flagged automatically.
Secure by Design
Audio is deleted the moment transcription completes — never stored, never reused. UK GDPR compliant. Sessions expire automatically after 30 days.
Multi-user Firms
Invite your whole team. Role-based access for owners, admins and fee earners. Every document tied to its author.
Automatic Secretary Emails
Assign a secretary to each fee earner. The moment a dictation is transcribed, they're automatically emailed the finished PDF or Word document.
Olympus Auto-Upload
Plug in your recorder. A background script detects it, uploads every DS2 file automatically, and kicks off transcription — no manual steps.
Letterhead Detection
Upload a letterhead image and AI configures your export template automatically — firm name, colours, fonts and header text extracted in seconds.
Dictate from Any Device
No Olympus recorder? No problem. The built-in web recorder works in any browser on any device — phone, tablet or laptop — and uploads straight to your account.
Your dictation, cleaned up in one click
Fee earners often talk to the secretary inside their dictation — "urgent, please type today" or "copy to accounts" mixed in with the letter itself. Smart Review separates them automatically.
-
Spoken formatting applied
"full stop", "new paragraph", "open bracket" — converted automatically.
-
Secretary instructions highlighted
Instructions to the secretary are marked in amber and listed separately so nothing gets missed.
-
Urgency & deadlines flagged
If the dictation mentions a deadline or urgent instruction, it's surfaced at the top before you do anything else.
Urgent: matter must be filed by Friday
Dear Mr Johnson, further to our meeting of 14 March I write to advise that the transfer has now been registered.
urgent — please type today and mark for partner review
Please note that the outstanding balance of £1,250 remains due. We would be grateful if you could arrange payment at your earliest convenience.
copy this letter to Sarah at accounts
Yours sincerely,
Secretary instructions detected
- ›urgent — please type today and mark for partner review

Plug in your recorder
Files upload automatically
Transcription underway
Runs in the background every time you plug in — nothing to click.
Plug in. Walk away.
It's already uploading.
Fee earners shouldn't have to think about file management. Download a script once, run it once — after that, connecting the Olympus recorder is all it takes.
-
Finds every file, every folder
Searches Folder A, Folder B and all subdirectories recursively — nothing gets missed regardless of how your Olympus is configured.
-
Never uploads the same file twice
Each file is fingerprinted before upload. Reconnecting the same recorder is always safe — duplicates are silently skipped.
-
Starts automatically at login
Installs itself as a Windows startup task on first run. No IT involvement needed — just run the script once and it takes care of the rest.
-
Transcription and secretary email follow automatically
Uploaded files are queued for transcription immediately. If a secretary is configured, they receive the document the moment it's done.
