The Hessian judiciary uses digital dictation and speech recognition systems to enhance efficiency. Since 2005, "Dragon Naturally Speaking Legal Group" and "voice4legal" have enabled legal professionals to dictate documents digitally, replacing old analog methods. The system includes specialized legal vocabulary and workflow management, streamlining dictation, correction, and final document processing. The system has become widely adopted across Hessian justice departments, supporting both in-office and remote work. Key upgrades have improved accuracy and reduced the need for constant language profile maintenance.
