Record an entry
Dictate or type a time entry on the web, your phone or your computer, what to say so CaseClock places it correctly, and what happens after you stop.
Recording is the same everywhere: start, say what you did, stop. CaseClock turns the recording into a draft entry and waits for you to approve it. Choose the tab for the app in front of you.
What to say
Say the client or matter, what you did and how long, in any order. For example: "Jones Holdings, share purchase. Call with opposing counsel on the closing date, revised the indemnity clause. Forty minutes."
- Name the matter the way your list knows it. The matter number or the client's full name places the entry directly.
- Several pieces of work in one recording are fine. Name the next client as you move on; CaseClock makes one draft for each.
- Leave out what you do not know. A missing time, date or client is flagged on the draft for you to fill in.
- Spell a name if it is unusual. "That's Sadeghi, S-A-D-E-G-H-I." CaseClock remembers it.
- Say your billing codes if your firm uses them. "A code 107, L code 210."
Recordings save themselves at 20 minutes. Start another if you have more.
Record
Sign in at app.caseclock.ai and choose Record in the top bar.
Choose the round RECORD button. The first time, your browser asks for microphone permission; allow it.
Speak, then choose Stop & review. You see Transcribed, Structuring and Ready to review as CaseClock works, then the entry opens.
Recording in the browser needs an internet connection.
Type an entry instead
On the web, choose Record, then Manual entry. On the phone, tap Manual entry under the record button. Fill in what you know: description (tap the microphone to dictate it), date, duration, client and matter, and billing codes where your firm uses them. Choose Save as draft. A typed entry is reviewed and approved like a dictated one.
What happens next
The draft appears under Drafts in Entries (or under Needs attention if something is missing) on the web and your phone. Open it, check it, approve it: Review and approve entries.
If something goes wrong
- Nothing showed up after you stopped: My recording did not appear as an entry.
- The microphone is blocked or missing: Desktop install and microphone covers the computer; on the phone, allow the microphone in your phone's settings.
- CaseClock chose the wrong client or matter: Choosing clients and matters.
