Short answer: For lawyers, the right AI note taker captures client calls and case meetings accurately, labels who said what, and keeps that sensitive record protected — encrypted, on servers you're comfortable with, and never used to train AI models. CraftNote does this with bot-free recording, 80+ languages, speaker labels, and EU data storage. As with any tool, whether a transcript can serve as an official record is a legal judgment your firm makes.
What lawyers need from an AI note taker
- Accurate attribution: in legal conversations it matters exactly who said what — speaker labels turn a transcript into an attributable record
- Confidentiality: client matters demand encryption, controlled access, and assurance the data isn't used to train AI models
- Discretion: a bot visibly joining a client call can be awkward — bot-free capture avoids it
- Searchable records: being able to find what was said across many matters, months later
How CraftNote fits a legal workflow
CraftNote records client calls and meetings bot-free on Mac and Chromium browsers (nothing joins the call), or with an optional bot when needed. It transcribes in 80+ languages, separates speakers, and produces a structured summary with action items. Data is stored on EU servers in Frankfurt, encrypted with AES-256 in transit and at rest, raw audio is automatically deleted after 60 days, and meeting content is never used to train AI models. Notes are private by default and any share link can be revoked.
An honest note on compliance
CraftNote gives you a secure capture, transcription and export layer — but it is not a substitute for your firm's judgment. Whether a transcript can serve as evidence or an official record depends on your jurisdiction and rules, and high-stakes summaries should be reviewed by a named person before they're relied on. For a fuller treatment, see using AI meeting summaries in legal and regulated meetings.
Common Questions
Is CraftNote secure enough for client calls?
Data is stored on EU servers in Frankfurt, encrypted with AES-256 in transit and at rest, raw audio is auto-deleted after 60 days, and nothing is used to train AI models. Whether that meets your firm's requirements is a decision your firm makes.
Can CraftNote transcripts be used as legal evidence?
Transcripts are best treated as internal documentation. Whether one can serve as evidence or official minutes depends on your jurisdiction and applicable standards — consult counsel before relying on any transcript as an official record.
Does a bot join the client call?
Not on Mac or Chromium browsers, where CraftNote records the call's audio directly. On mobile, Safari, or Firefox, an optional bot joins the call as a named participant.
