How It Works

Three steps.
Zero retyping.

Clerk& turns what you say, photographed notes, and pasted instructions into structured documents in your own style, formatted correctly on first pass. Built for the handoff between a barrister speaking and a clerk dispatching.

Step 01
Capture
Open the app on your phone or laptop. Speak naturally, snap a photo of a handwritten note, or paste an email from the instructing solicitor.
When
Between hearings. On the walk back from court. End of day. Anytime.
Where
Anywhere. Offline-first — audio sits on your device until you have signal.
How long
Most recordings are 2–4 minutes. A full day's fees from a list day might be 8.
Step 02
Clerk& tidies and formats
Clerk& does four things at once: it transcribes what you said, identifies the document type, pulls structured data (case names, hours, fees, dates), and sets your words out in your own style. The substance stays yours.
Transcription
Speech recognition tuned for Irish and UK legal vocabulary — case names, statutes, Latin terms, fadas, neutral citations.
Document detection
Fee note, brief, attendance note, correspondence to instructing solicitor — detected from context.
Structured extraction
Hours tallied, VAT computed, payees identified, references checked.
Your own style
Your headings, your footers, your reference format. Not a generic template.
Step 03
Review and send
You get a structured document back in seconds. Read, edit by voice or keyboard, and dispatch.
Voice editing
“Replace paragraph two with…” or “Change the rate to €350.”
Export
PDF, DOCX, email, or copy to clipboard. Filed automatically into the right matter folder.
Audit trail
Every change is logged. Source recording, edit history, and final document linked.

What it produces

For counsel

—Briefs to counsel
—Attendance notes from consultations
—Correspondence to instructing solicitors
—Opinions, advices and submissions: you speak them, Clerk& sets them out in your template

For clerks

—Fee notes (with hours, rates, and VAT)
—Brief covers and indexes
—Attendance notes from consultations
—Standard correspondence and follow-ups
—Matter activity history per document
—Workspace-wide search across matters

Clerk& transcribes, tidies and formats your words. It does not write substance or find authorities, so anything you cite is yours to check before it goes to court. AI and the courts: what the practice directions mean for you.

Why this isn't just another voice-typing tool

Structured work, not transcripts

Phone voice typing gives you a wall of text. Clerk& returns documents with headings, fees tables, and the right format for each output type.

Built around both sides of the desk

Counsel speaking between hearings, clerk reviewing and dispatching back at the desk. Both flows live in the same workspace, not in two disconnected tools.

Local vocabulary built in

Irish and UK case citations, neutral citations, Latin, and Irish names with fadas. No spelling out “Ó Domhnaill v Merrick” every time.

Three input modes

Voice, camera, and keyboard. All feed the same pipeline, produce the same output, in your own style.

Files & folders included

Every output filed automatically to the right matter. Suggested filing, full-text search, no second tool to learn.

Shared workspaces

Counsel, clerks, and assistants share one workspace — sole practitioners through to busy rooms with a senior clerk — with scoped roles and activity history per document.
