Can I dictate directly into my case management software?

CHELA acts as a rapid capture tool. You dictate on the go, and the highly-accurate text transcript is immediately available to copy and paste right into Clio, MyCase, or PracticePanther when you sit down at your desk.

Does the app work without an internet connection?

Yes. You can record voice notes on your iPhone while completely offline (e.g., on an airplane or deep in a courthouse). The app stores the audio securely and syncs to the transcription server the second you regain cell service.

How does this compare to traditional dictaphones?

Traditional dictaphones require physical transfer of files to a paralegal or transcriptionist. CHELA eliminates the middleman, providing you with a hyper-accurate transcript instantly via the cloud.

Is my data shared with Apple?

No. Audio recorded within the CHELA iOS app is siloed specifically for our secure processing pipeline and does not pass through native iOS Siri analytics tools.
