Welcome to HeyDonna
HeyDonna is an AI-powered transcript editor built specifically for court reporters. Reduce your transcription time by up to 80% while maintaining the legal accuracy standards your clients expect.
Why HeyDonna?
Court reporting is demanding work. You're expected to deliver perfectly formatted, legally accurate transcripts - fast. Traditional workflows mean hours of manual transcription, formatting, and proofreading.
HeyDonna changes that:
- AI Transcription - Upload your audio and get a speaker-identified draft in minutes
- Synchronized Playback - Click any word to hear that exact moment in the recording
- AI Proofreading - Let AI catch errors while you maintain full control with Track Changes
- Court-Ready Export - Generate properly formatted DOCX files that match your templates
How It Works
Upload Your Audio
Drag and drop your audio file (MP3, WAV, M4A) or paste a URL. HeyDonna supports files up to 4 hours.
Review the AI Draft
Within minutes, you'll have a transcript with speaker diarization. The AI identifies different speakers and formats the output.
Edit with Superpowers
Use synchronized audio playback to verify content. Click any word to jump to that moment. Use AI proofreading to catch errors - all changes are tracked.
Export and Deliver
Generate court-ready DOCX or PDF files. Your formatting templates are preserved.
Key Features
AI-Powered Transcription
HeyDonna uses state-of-the-art speech recognition with automatic speaker diarization. Upload your audio and get a working draft - not perfect, but a solid starting point that saves hours.
Synchronized Audio Playback
Every word in your transcript is linked to its timestamp in the audio. Click a word to jump there. Use keyboard shortcuts to control playback without leaving the editor.
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
F4 | Play/Pause |
F3 | Rewind 5 seconds |
F5 | Fast forward 5 seconds |
Ctrl+Enter | Play from cursor |
AI Proofreading with Track Changes
Let AI review your transcript for errors - but you stay in control. Every AI suggestion appears as a tracked change that you can accept or reject.
AI proofreading is additive, not destructive. You always see exactly what changed and can revert anything.
Court-Ready Export
Export to DOCX with proper court formatting. Use your own templates or our built-in deposition format. Line numbers, page numbers, headers, footers - all handled.
