Terms of art,
typed as terms of art.
General dictation tools hear "voir dire" and type "voir dyre" — or worse, "vwa deer." The Legal edition ships Blabb with the legal dictionary already in it, so briefs, letters, and file notes come out in the language of the profession — and privileged content never leaves your machine. A dictation aid, not legal advice — always review output before it goes on the file.
The vocabulary of the brief, built in
Established legal dictionaries
Terms of art, Latin phrases, and procedural vocabulary drawn from established legal reference dictionaries, plus a curated supplement of modern practice terms. "Res ipsa loquitur," "estoppel," "habeas corpus" — spelled the way the reporter spells them, first dictation.
Catches what sounds right but isn't
The hardest errors are real words that sound like the term you said — "tort" heard as "taught," "in camera" flattened into ordinary prose. The spelling pass groups what was heard with dictionary terms that sound alike, then picks one only if it is close enough in spelling to be the same word. It works word by word, not on the meaning of the sentence, so it fixes near-misses rather than rewriting plain speech into legalese.
Two passes, two jobs
The edition works in two places, and they are not the same thing. The full 13,004-term dictionary drives the spelling pass over the raw transcription, fixing terms the speech model misheard. And a brief legal note goes into the cleanup prompt, so the AI editor knows it is handling legal writing. It works with all six writing styles and alongside the personal glossary that learns your own matter names and party names.
Spoken like a person. Typed like a lawyer.
"we act for the landlord um the tenant didn't pay rent for march april and may so we're gonna seek possession and the arrears"
We act for the landlord. The tenant did not pay rent for March, April, and May. We will seek possession and arrears.
"uh note to file the res ipsa low quitter argument is weak here we should focus on negligence per se instead"
Note to file: The res ipsa loquitur argument is weak here; we should focus on negligence per se instead.
Invented examples, real behavior: the Latin survives, the facts stay exactly as dictated, and the note stays as long as you made it.
Dictate like it's privileged. Because it is.
No vendor to diligence
The Legal edition is exactly as private as base Blabb, because the dictionary isn't a cloud service — it's a term database installed with the app. No third party receives client information, so there's no provider to assess for the dictation step. The ethics picture in full: Rule 1.6 in the voice era.
Artifacts under your control
Dictation history is encrypted with keys tied to your Windows account. Retention is yours to set — don't save history at all for matters where no local record should persist, or 1 day, 1 week (the default), 1 month, or forever — and one click deletes your history, saved words and logs.
Works where firm IT locks down
Firm and client environments often mean Citrix or RDP sessions with clipboard redirection disabled. Blabb types key-by-key into the focused window, so dictation works inside those sessions too. The one exception is a window running as administrator: Windows blocks synthetic input there, for every tool. How that works.
