Lawyers dictate case notes, client memos, and briefs 3x faster than typing. With Hapi running locally, attorney-client privilege is never compromised by cloud processing.

Why Lawyers Should Use Dictation

Speaking is 3-4x faster than typing for most people. For lawyers, this means less time on documentation and more time on the work that matters.

With Hapi, dictation is private (100% local), free (no subscription), and instant (one hotkey press). Your voice is converted to text on your Mac and auto-pasted wherever your cursor is.

Best Dictation Setup for Lawyers

A private office with a noise-canceling microphone. Hapi's 100% local processing ensures no confidential data leaves your device.

Quick start:

1. Download Hapi — free, installs in under a minute
2. Set your hotkey — Option+Space is the default, but you can customize it
3. Start dictating — press the hotkey, speak, release, and your text appears

Real Examples: What Lawyers Dictate

• Client meeting notes and case summaries
• Drafting legal briefs and memos
• Dictating deposition notes in real-time
• Recording case research observations

Tips for Lawyers Getting Started

1. Start with low-stakes content — emails, notes, and messages before moving to important documents
2. Speak in full sentences — the AI handles punctuation automatically
3. Use a quiet environment — background noise reduces accuracy
4. Don't worry about perfection — a quick edit of dictated text is still faster than typing from scratch
