HakiScribe-AI

HakiScribe-AI — Clarity in Every Proceeding HakiScribe-AI is an AI-powered court transcription and record-preparation platform designed to strengthen access to justice in Kenya by making the preparation and verification of court proceedings faster, more reliable and accountable. Our story began with a conversation with a magistrate friend and experiences during prison legal aid clinic visits. These experiences raised an important question: What happens when someone needs their court record to pursue the next legal step, but that record is still being prepared? In a justice system where timely access to proceedings and judgments can be critical, delays in preparing court records create practical challenges for litigants, advocates and the wider administration of justice. HakiScribe addresses this challenge by integrating Meta AI models into a court-focused workflow. It converts recorded proceedings into structured transcript segments, assists with transcript review and generates summaries. Unlike general-purpose transcription tools, our unique value is not simply converting speech into text; it is connecting AI capabilities to the actual process of preparing court records. Clerks can review and correct transcripts, record reasons for changes, and submit records for Magistrate verification and certification. Our guiding principle is simple: AI proposes. HUMAN disposes. AI supports the professionals; it does not replace their judgment or authority. For Kenya, HakiScribe has the potential to reduce administrative workloads, improve access to court records, support more efficient case preparation and strengthen the practical delivery of justice. Aligned with the Judiciary's 2023–2033 Blueprint for Social Transformation through Access to Justice, we envision a platform that can evolve to support more Kenyan languages and serve courts, advocates and legal aid organisations. We are not using AI to replace justice. We are using AI to help justice move forward.
