AI Dictation for Lawyers
Move briefs, contract markups, and client correspondence forward faster between hearings. Voice clears the long-form writing load that quietly eats your billable hours each week.
Why typing is slowing lawyers down
Briefs take days of typing time
A well-argued brief means tens of pages of careful prose with citations woven in. Typing the first draft from scratch eats two or three full working days that should have been spent on case strategy and direct client work.
Contract markup notes are slow to write
Each redline needs a precise comment explaining the rationale and the proposed alternative. Typing thoughtful margin notes across forty pages of an agreement turns a one-hour review into a half-day exercise on every deal you touch.
Client emails compete with court time
A measured reply to a partner or a client takes ten focused minutes of typing each. Multiply by twenty messages a day around hearings and depositions and the inbox quietly takes a chunk of every billable evening.

A day with Amical
- Morning
Open the brief draft in Word, reread yesterday's last section, then dictate the argument for the third claim straight through — four pages of rough prose, ready for an afternoon revision pass.
- Late morning
Contract markup review: speak precise margin notes into Word comments across forty pages, explaining each redline and proposed alternative. A half-day exercise lands inside ninety focused minutes.
- After lunch
Deposition prep notes for tomorrow: dictate the witness outline into Notion — themes to cover, prior testimony to confront, documents to introduce. The associate picks it up cleanly without a sync.
- Evening
Clear the partner and client inbox: dictate measured replies to fifteen messages, send the engagement letter draft, leave a thoughtful response to opposing counsel. Inbox closes before dinner.
What Amical does for lawyers
Long-form briefs without the typing tax
A brief is mostly transcription work on top of the legal thinking — the argument is in your head and most of the work is getting it onto the page. Dictating cuts a three-day draft to one full day of voice plus a careful revision pass, returning real billable time to case strategy.
Precise markup notes at speaking speed
Contract review and brief markup are where typing slowness hurts most — each comment is short but careful and there are dozens of them per document. Dictating each margin note in fifteen seconds lets you move through the agreement at the speed of the analysis rather than the keyboard.
Works in every legal workflow tool
Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Outlook, Gmail, Notion, Slack, NetDocuments and iManage editor windows — Amical drops transcription into any focused text field at the OS layer. No per-application plugin to install, no copy-paste step, nothing for IT to vet beyond the install itself.
