chit at work
An AI voice recorder for lawyers
Who carries it: Attorney
A litigation day produces facts, dates, and follow-ups across four matters, most of them spoken and few of them written down. An AI voice recorder for lawyers captures consults, witness interviews, and hearing prep as they happen, and hands back matter notes, queued deadlines, and a timestamped record of the talk time itself.
Privileged means your transcription vendor cannot be a co-defendant.
When an attorney presses it
- Client consults
- witness interviews
- hearing prep
- settlement calls
“Litigation associate; capture facts, dates, and follow-ups per matter - privileged.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Matter notes + time capture from talk time; deadlines queued.
Matter conversations searchable across the firm, with recordings resident in the firm's own VPC.
Firm deployments run branded devices with recordings and transcripts resident in the firm's own VPC, not a third party's cloud.
Privileged, and therefore particular about where it lives
A litigation practice generates facts faster than anyone can type them: a client consult, a witness who mentions a date nobody had, a settlement call where a number moves. The constraint is not capture, it is that this material is privileged, so the question of where it goes is the whole question. chit records only while you hold the button — nothing is ambient, and a conversation is never captured because a device happened to be in the room. Firm deployments run branded devices with recordings and transcripts resident in the firm's own VPC rather than a vendor's cloud. Practically, associates use it for the drive back from a deposition and the ten minutes after a client leaves, which is when the facts are sharpest and the notes are worst.

Good questions
What about privilege — can a transcription vendor see my recordings?
That's the architecture question to ask any vendor. chit's firm deployments keep recordings and transcripts resident in the firm's own VPC rather than a third party's cloud. See hichit.com/enterprise, and ask us about compliance deployments for privileged work.
Can I dictate case notes between hearings?
Yes — hold the button and talk. It works offline, courthouse dead zones included, and syncs later. Every capture becomes a timestamped, searchable transcript.
Can I record client consultations?
Consent rules vary by state and by situation — this isn't legal advice. chit records only while the button is held; many attorneys use it to dictate a memo immediately after the consult rather than record the client.
Does it help reconstruct billable time?
Every capture is timestamped, so reconstructing a day starts from a record of when you talked and about which matter — not from memory at month-end.
How is this different from the dictaphone in my drawer?
The $9/month membership adds what the dictaphone never had: unlimited transcripts, a daily digest of decisions and follow-ups, and ask-anything search across every matter you've captured.
This is general information, not legal advice. Recording law varies by state and by situation, it changes, and only a lawyer in your jurisdiction can tell you what applies to you. chit records only while you hold the button — that is a fact about the device, not a statement that any particular recording is lawful.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
