## 서문

AI for lawyers is having a moment, and almost all of it runs in the cloud. Case-law search, brief drafting, clause review: the new legal AI assistants are genuinely impressive, and nearly every one of them sends your text to a server to do its work. That is a fair trade for public research. It is a much harder trade when the text is a privileged client note, an attendance note from a difficult call, or a draft that names people and facts you are ethically bound to protect.

There is a quieter way to bring AI into a legal practice that never asks you to make that trade at the point of capture. Yaps keeps the capture layer on your own device. You dictate the note, on-device AI tidies up the ramble, and the finished text lands in a private, searchable vault that never leaves your machine. This guide draws a clear line between that capture layer and the cloud reasoning engines, and it is honest about which jobs still belong in the cloud.

One thing up front: nothing here is legal advice, and Yaps does not guarantee privilege. Treat this as a practical look at where your words actually go, and follow your own bar or regulator guidance on client confidentiality and cloud vendors.

## "변호사를 위한 AI"라고 불리는 두 가지 다른 것

The phrase points at two categories that barely overlap. It helps to name them plainly before deciding what runs where.

The first is a **reasoning engine**. It researches case law, drafts a brief, compares clauses, and summarises a bundle of documents. To do any of that well, it needs a large model and often a whole corpus of law, which is why it lives in the cloud and sends your text out to work. For public legal research, that is exactly the right shape of tool, and Yaps does not try to be it.

The second is the **capture layer**. This is the unglamorous, constant part of practice: getting your own words down. The attendance note after a client call. The file note before you forget the detail. The paragraph you would rather speak than type. The reminder you jot between hearings. This step does not need a server to work, and it is also where the most sensitive material first appears, in your own voice, with real names attached.

Here is where practices trip up. People reach for one cloud tool to do both jobs, and the capture, which is the most confidential and the most private step, quietly inherits a cloud round-trip it never needed. Your half-formed thought about a client is not a research query. It does not need to leave your desk to become clean text.

Cloud-first capture

### The note leaves the room

You dictate an attendance note into a cloud dictation or notes tool. The audio and the transcript travel to a vendor's servers to be processed, then come back. For the length of that trip, privileged content about your client sits on infrastructure you do not control, under a retention policy you did not write, and possibly in a jurisdiction you did not choose.

On-device capture with Yaps

### The note stays put

You dictate the same note with the Yaps hotkey. Recognition and cleanup happen on your own machine, and the finished text saves into a local vault. The audio is never uploaded to become text, so the confidential part of the work never depends on a server being trustworthy, online, or in the right country.

## Yaps 법률 업무에서 실제로 수행되는 작업

Yaps is a voice assistant for capture, not a research engine. It does four concrete things, and it does all of them on the lawyer's own device.

**It turns speech into clean case notes.** Press the Yaps hotkey, and talk the way you actually think, with restarts and asides included. Recognition runs on your device and handles about 25 languages, auto-detected from your speech, so a note dictated in French, Spanish, or English does not require you to change a setting. Because it works across every app on the system, you can dictate straight into your practice management software, your email, or a blank document. Our [dictation feature page](/features/dictation) covers the mechanics, and the [legal dictation use case](/use-cases/legal-dictation) walks through a lawyer's day with it.

**It cleans up the ramble.** On by default and running locally, the cleanup step removes filler words and false starts, fixes punctuation and capitalisation, and formats a spoken list into an actual list. A muttered stream of "so, um, we need to, sorry, we need to file the motion by Friday and then, right, chase the client for the signed retainer" comes out as two tidy sentences. You get the speed of talking with the finish of typing, and none of it required an internet connection.

**It keeps everything in a private, searchable vault.** Captured notes live in a local vault you can search on your own device, without a cloud index of your clients' business. Notes are not just walls of text: they support plain notes, kanban boards, and checklists, so a spoken brain-dump about a matter can become a task list you actually work from. When you need the text elsewhere, notes export to Markdown and plain text. The [voice notes feature](/features/voice-notes) goes deeper on how this is organised.

**It syncs between your phone and your laptop.** The vault syncs across your own devices as a premium feature, and it pairs over your local network or an encrypted peer-to-peer link using a QR code, rather than routing through a central server. So a note you dictate on your phone leaving court is on your laptop when you sit down, without a middleman holding a copy.

![A lawyer's desk still-life: a closed leather journal with a small brass padlock resting on top, beside a laptop glowing softly with warm ember light and a fountain pen, suggesting confidential notes kept on the device.](/images/blog/ai-for-lawyers-private-notes-1.jpg)

There is one more piece that matters for legal work specifically. If you have a recording you made yourself, say an interview with a witness or the audio from a hearing you were entitled to record, the Yaps Studio editor imports that audio **file** and transcribes it offline into text or an SRT subtitle file. That is turning a recording you already own into private text on your own machine, not a bot sitting in a live call. Yaps does not join meetings and does not do live meeting transcription today, and it is worth being precise about that difference before you build a workflow on it. For the broader case, see our guide to [dictation for legal professionals](/blog/dictation-for-legal-professionals).

## 텍스트는 실제로 어디에 있습니까?

**That is the only question that decides whether a tool is safe for privileged notes.** Not how clever the AI is, but where your words rest and who else gets a copy. Hold on-device capture against a cloud legal AI assistant on exactly that axis, and the two stop looking like competitors and start looking like a division of labour.

Scroll

| Where your words go | Yaps (on-device capture) | Cloud legal AI assistant |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Your dictated audio | Stays on your device | Uploaded to a server |
| Where the note text is stored | Local vault on your device | Vendor's cloud account |
| Works with no internet | Yes, for core capture | No |
| A third party sees privileged content | No, nothing is uploaded | Yes, the vendor processes it |
| Case-law research across a corpus | No, not its job | Yes |
| Brief drafting and clause analysis | No | Yes |
| Transcribe a recording you made | Yes, in Studio, offline | Yes, cloud upload |
| Best role in your stack | Private capture and notes | Research and drafting |

Read that table as a fork, not a scoreboard. The rows where Yaps says "no" are not weaknesses to apologise for. A tool that never uploads your audio cannot leak it, and a tool that does not reach for a corpus of case law was never trying to draft your brief. The features Yaps lacks are the features that would put your client's words on someone else's server, and staying off that server is the whole point of the capture layer.

Important !

Cloud legal AI tools vary enormously in how they handle your text. Some contractually promise not to train on it or retain it; others reserve broad rights in the fine print. Before you paste a privileged passage into any cloud assistant, read its data terms, check whether your bar or regulator has spoken on that vendor, and confirm your client engagement allows it. Keeping the capture on-device with Yaps removes that question for the note itself, but it does not remove your duty to vet every cloud tool you later send text to.

## 정직한 경계: 캡처는 집에 머물고 연구는 클라우드로 이동

It would be dishonest to sell Yaps as your whole legal AI stack, so let us be exact about what it is not.

Yaps is not a legal research engine. It will not find the on-point authority, and it does not read the statute for you. It is not a document automation platform, it does not draft your brief from a prompt, and it does not run clause-by-clause contract analysis or sit in your e-discovery pipeline. When the job is reasoning over the law, a specialised legal AI assistant, which almost certainly runs in the cloud, is the right tool, and you should use one. Our post on [attorney-client privilege and dictation](/blog/attorney-client-privilege-dictation) sets out the confidentiality reasoning in more depth.

What Yaps does is narrower and, for the sensitive part of the day, more valuable: it keeps confidential client notes off the cloud while you capture them. You dictate the file note, the attendance note, the reminder, and the rough draft privately, on your own device. Then, if and when a passage needs cloud reasoning, you make a deliberate choice to send that specific, vetted text out, rather than defaulting every raw thought about a client into a vendor's account by accident.

> Send the research question to the cloud on purpose. Do not let your private notes about a client go there by default.
>
>
> Yaps

That deliberate split is also the honest answer to the compliance question. On-device capture reduces the surface area of privileged material that ever touches third-party infrastructure, which is squarely in the spirit of a lawyer's duty to take reasonable steps to protect client information. It does not, by itself, discharge that duty, and Yaps makes no certification claim. Follow your own bar rules, your regulator's guidance, and your firm's cloud-vendor policy. The broader compliance picture across sectors is covered in [voice privacy in regulated industries](/blog/voice-privacy-regulated-industries).

## 4단계로 권한 있는 클라이언트 메모를 비공개로 캡처하는 방법

Here is the whole workflow in practice, start to finish.

**Step one: install and confirm capture is local.** Download Yaps on your Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android device, and start the 7-day free trial. Starting that trial on desktop requires an account, which governs access and billing. It does not change where the work happens: the core dictation and cleanup run on your own device out of the box, so a privileged note is not uploaded in order to become text. The [Yaps for lawyers](/for/lawyers) page is the fastest overview of the setup.

**Step two: dictate the note.** Press the Yaps hotkey and speak. Give the full attendance note, the reminder, or the draft paragraph in your own words, restarts and all. Because it works across every app, you can talk straight into your matter file, an email, or a fresh document, and the audio stays on the machine.

**Step three: let cleanup do the tidying.** The on-device cleanup step turns the spoken mess into finished text: filler gone, punctuation fixed, lists formatted. You review, you do not retype.

**Step four: save, search, and sync.** The note lands in your local vault, where you can search it later without a cloud index of your clients. Export to Markdown or plain text when it needs to go into a document, and turn on premium sync if you want the same note on your phone and laptop, paired privately across your own devices.

Pro Tip P

Use the checklist and kanban views for matter management, not just plain notes. Dictate a post-call brain-dump, then let cleanup format it, and you have an actionable task list for the file in under a minute, all captured and stored on your own device.

## 어떤 작업을 위한 어떤 도구

If you take one thing away, make it this. Start with Yaps for the capture layer, because that is where your most confidential material first appears and where a cloud round-trip buys you nothing. Dictate your case notes, attendance notes, reminders, and rough drafts on your own device, keep them in a private local vault, and transcribe your own recordings offline in Studio.

Then, deliberately, reach for a specialised cloud legal AI assistant when the job is genuine reasoning over the law: case-law research, brief drafting, or clause analysis. That is the one scenario where a cloud tool is the right call, and using both is not a compromise. It is the correct division of labour, with the private half kept private.

The one honest caveat is platform. Yaps runs on Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux today, and an iOS version is coming soon rather than shipping now. If your practice is built entirely around iPhone and iPad, that is the gap to weigh, and it is worth checking the current status before you commit. For everyone else, the default starting point for private legal capture is clear.

## 자주 묻는 질문

### What is the best AI for lawyers that keeps notes private?

For the capture side of legal work, Yaps is a strong pick because dictation, cleanup, note storage, and search all run on your own device, so privileged client notes never travel to a server to become text. It runs on Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. For case-law research or brief drafting, a specialised cloud legal AI assistant is the better tool, so the honest answer is to pair the two: keep capture on-device with Yaps and send deliberate research questions to a cloud engine.

### Do legal AI tools send my client notes to the cloud?

Most of them do. Cloud legal AI assistants, and many cloud dictation and notes tools, upload your text or audio to their servers to process it, which means privileged content sits on infrastructure you do not control while it is handled. Yaps is built the opposite way for capture: recognition and cleanup happen on your device, and the audio is not uploaded to be turned into a note. That is the core reason to keep the capture layer local.

### Can I use AI for case notes without breaching client confidentiality?

You can reduce the exposure significantly by keeping the capture on-device, which is what Yaps does. Because the audio and note text stay on your machine, no third party processes your privileged content when you dictate it. That supports a lawyer's duty to take reasonable steps to protect client information, but it does not by itself discharge that duty. Follow your own bar or regulator guidance and your firm's policy on any cloud vendor you later use.

### Is Yaps a legal research or brief-drafting tool?

No. Yaps captures, cleans, organises, and transcribes your own notes and recordings on your device. It does not research case law, draft briefs from a prompt, analyse clauses, or run e-discovery. For those reasoning jobs you should use a specialised legal AI assistant, which will typically run in the cloud. The point of Yaps is to keep your confidential notes off the cloud during capture, not to replace a research engine.

### Does Yaps work offline for legal dictation?

Yes. Speech recognition, on-device cleanup, note storage, and local search all run on your device and work with no internet connection, so you can dictate a note in a courthouse basement or on a train with no signal. The network is used only for a short list of things, such as account and subscription status, model downloads, and optional premium vault sync. Capturing and saving a note never requires you to be online.

### Can Yaps transcribe a recorded client interview or hearing?

Yes, if it is a recording you already have. The Yaps Studio editor imports an audio file you recorded yourself, such as a witness interview or a hearing you were entitled to record, and transcribes it offline into text or an SRT subtitle file. Nothing is uploaded, which suits sensitive recordings you would rather not send to a cloud service. Yaps does not join live meetings or act as a bot in a call, so this is for files you own, not live capture.

### What languages does Yaps dictation support?

Yaps dictation recognises about 25 spoken languages and auto-detects them from your speech, so a note dictated in French, Spanish, German, or English does not require you to change any setting. This matters for firms with multilingual clients and cross-border matters. The recognition runs on your device in every supported language, so the privacy benefit does not disappear when you switch languages mid-note.

### Is my dictated client information encrypted or stored in the cloud?

Your dictated notes are stored locally on your own device in a searchable vault, not in a cloud account, and the audio is not uploaded to be transcribed. If you turn on the premium sync feature, notes move between your own phone and laptop over your local network or an encrypted peer-to-peer link rather than through a central server. Because the confidential content stays on hardware you control, there is no vendor cloud copy of the note to secure in the first place.

### Does Yaps guarantee attorney-client privilege?

No, and any tool that claims to guarantee privilege should be treated with suspicion. Privilege is a legal doctrine that depends on your conduct and your jurisdiction, not on a software feature. What Yaps does is reduce the surface area of privileged material that ever touches third-party servers by keeping capture on your device. Whether privilege attaches and holds is a matter for your professional judgement and your regulator's rules, and nothing here is legal advice.

### How much does Yaps cost, and is there a free version?

Yaps offers a 7-day free trial, after which it is a paid subscription. The plans are Pro at $15 a month and Max at $25 a month, and an account is required to start the trial and to manage billing. There is no permanently free tier on desktop. Core dictation, cleanup, and note capture run on-device during and after the trial, so the paid subscription covers the product rather than metering how private your notes are.

### Does Yaps run on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android, and what about iOS?

Yaps runs on Android as a full keyboard, and on Windows, macOS, and Linux as a desktop app, plus a Chrome extension for saving web pages into your vault. On desktop you trigger dictation with the Yaps hotkey, and on Android you tap the dictation button on the Yaps keyboard. An iOS version for iPhone and iPad is coming soon and is not publicly available yet, so a practice built entirely on Apple mobile devices should check the current status first.

### Can I sync case notes between my phone and my laptop?

Yes. Vault note syncing between mobile and desktop is a premium feature that pairs your own devices over your local network or an encrypted peer-to-peer link, using a QR code to connect them. A note you dictate on your phone leaving court is waiting on your laptop when you sit down. Because the sync goes directly between your devices rather than through a central server, there is no vendor holding a copy of your case notes in transit.

### Should I still use a cloud legal AI assistant alongside Yaps?

Yes, for the jobs it is built for. Use a specialised cloud legal AI assistant for case-law research, brief drafting, and clause analysis, where reasoning over a large body of law genuinely needs the cloud. Use Yaps for the capture layer, where your private notes belong on your own device. The two are complementary: keep confidential capture local, and send deliberate, vetted research questions to the cloud rather than defaulting every raw note there.

### Is Yaps HIPAA compliant or certified for legal work?

Yaps makes no HIPAA certification claim and no legal-compliance certification claim, and it does not offer EHR or practice-management integration, legal advice, or decision support. What it offers is on-device capture, which keeps confidential audio and note text on your own machine instead of a vendor's server. Whether that fits your obligations is for you, your firm, and your regulator to assess against the specific rules that bind you.
