About the role

Court reporters transcribe legal proceedings at 225 words per minute with 98.5% accuracy. Our AI does it at infinite words per minute with 95% accuracy. That gap — 95% to 98.5% — is where you come in. Closing it means understanding legal terminology, courtroom acoustics, multiple simultaneous speakers, and the specific cadences of judges, attorneys, and witnesses. You'll work on our domain-specific ASR models: fine-tuning Whisper and custom encoder-decoder architectures on thousands of hours of courtroom audio. You'll also build the post-processing pipeline — punctuation restoration, speaker attribution, and legal citation formatting. Hybrid role with 2 days/week in our NYC office, where we have a dedicated audio lab for testing with real courtroom recording equipment.
