AI agent for court reporters

Certified Question Reading Check Agent

Deliver an exact, verified extract of the requested passage quickly.

Certified Question Reading Check Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

In the middle of a hearing someone asks for a readback or a certified question, and the reporter must find the passage fast and be sure it is exact. Finding it in a long transcript is slow, and a mistake is serious. This agent locates the requested passage from a description or a time. It compares the text with the audio and the reporter's notes, flags differences, and prepares a clean extract with page and line numbers. If the reporter corrects the transcript, the agent rechecks the extract. The reporter approves delivery. Edge case: where the audio is unclear, the agent marks the words as unverified and does not guess.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

Matches the request to passages by speaker, topic and time, and verifies words against audio; unclear words are marked, never filled in.

  • Unclear audio is marked, never guessed
  • Page and line numbers are checked against the final transcript
  • Two possible passages are both shown, not chosen
  • A corrected word triggers a full recheck of the extract

An example run

What happensA judge asks for the witness's answer about the delivery date. The agent finds two candidate passages, pages 41 and 77. It shows both. The reporter picks page 77. The comparison finds the transcript says the 14th while audio is unclear between 14th and 4th. The check fails and the word is marked. The reporter listens and confirms 14th. The extract is delivered.
