Hearing Intelligence

Every hearing, searchable the moment it's said

Stop watching hours of committee video to find the forty seconds that matter. USLege captures hearings live, transcribes them as they happen, and adds every minute to the largest government video archive in the world, so you can search testimony the way you'd search a document, get alerted the moment a topic comes up, and clip the exact exchange in seconds. Ask in plain English what's happening on the floor right now, and get an answer with the live transcript behind it, not a guess.

The old way

Nobody has time to watch a six-hour hearing to catch one exchange

Right now, staying on top of a hearing means one of two things: sitting through hours of committee video in real time, or trusting someone's notes after the fact. Neither scales. A single committee day can run all afternoon, across multiple panels, with the one exchange you actually needed buried an hour in. Multiply that across every committee and every state you're watching, and the old way simply stops working.

USLege turns hearing video into searchable text. Ask for a topic, a witness, or a bill number, and jump straight to the moment it was said, with the video cued to that second. Live, while it's happening, or archived years later, the spoken record works like any other document you'd search.

What you get

Everything you need to hear, search, and act on testimony

One connected system for live coverage, the archive, monitoring, clipping, calendars, and witness intelligence, not six separate tools.

Live hearing feeds

See what's live right now, scheduled to go live, or recently ended, across chambers and institutions in every state USLege covers. Where USLege covers a body, its hearings are captured and transcribed as they happen, so asking what's going on the floor today gets you a real, current answer, not yesterday's news.

Searchable archived transcripts

The largest government video archive in the world: 2.4 million-plus hours of government video, all searchable, full-text and paragraph-level, down to the timestamp. Every exchange is citable, so you can search hearing recordings the way you'd search text instead of scrubbing through footage.

Video Radar

Write a natural-language monitoring rule for a topic and target it to specific agencies, committees, or institutions, or to all state agencies of a type in a state. Set the sensitivity and notification cadence, and Video Radar continuously scans hearing transcripts for you.

Clip creation

Cut, title, and optionally logo-watermark a specific moment of testimony in seconds. Share it for internal briefing, on social media, or in a client or stakeholder update, without exporting or editing a full recording.

Committee calendars and meeting search

Agendas, hearing notices, and participants, searchable across every state USLege covers. Add location-based calendar alert rules so your team is notified the moment a committee schedules anything relevant, before the notice reaches anyone else.

Testimony and witness intelligence

Structured extraction of who testified, a summary and pull-quote of what they said, who they were speaking for, whether themselves, an employer, or an advocacy client, and how the testimony landed with the panel. Prep for your own hearing or research how an issue has played out before, backed by 18,000-plus identified speakers across the archive.

How it works

From gavel to searchable record, automatically

USLege captures the hearing

When a covered committee or chamber convenes, USLege picks up the live feed. You can watch what's live right now, what's scheduled next, or what just ended, all in one view across every state you track.

Speech becomes searchable text

The audio is transcribed into a full-text, paragraph-level, timestamped record and joins the archive, speakers identified and cross-referenced against the bills, agencies, and committees you follow. Video Radar rules start scanning it immediately.

You search, clip, and act

Find the exact exchange by topic, witness, or bill, jump the video to that second, cut a titled and watermarked clip if you need one, and see the structured read on who testified, what they said, and how it landed.

Why teams switch
We used to have someone watch every hearing live and take notes by hand. Now Video Radar catches the mention, the transcript gives us the exact quote, and we clip it before the hearing is even over.

Questions

What teams ask before they switch

How much hearing video does USLege cover? +
USLege maintains the largest government video archive in the world: 2.4 million-plus hours of government video, fully searchable, with 18,000-plus identified speakers across the archive. Where USLege covers a body, its hearings are captured, and coverage spans the vast majority of states, chambers, and institutions USLege tracks.
Can I search inside hearing video like a document? +
Yes. Every hearing is broken into a full-text, paragraph-level, timestamped transcript, so you search a hearing the way you would search a document instead of scrubbing through hours of footage. Every exchange is citable and jumps straight to the exact second it happened.
Can I get alerted when a specific committee or agency comes up in testimony? +
Yes. Video Radar lets you write a natural-language monitoring rule for a topic, targeted to specific agencies, committees, or institutions, or broadly to all state agencies of a type in a state. Set the sensitivity and notification cadence, and USLege continuously scans hearing transcripts and notifies you the moment it matches.
Can I create and share a clip of specific testimony? +
Yes. Cut, title, and optionally logo-watermark any specific moment of testimony, then share it for internal briefing, social media, or a client or stakeholder update, without exporting a full hearing recording.
Is this available live during the hearing or only after? +
Both. USLege shows what is live right now, what is scheduled to go live, and what recently ended, so you can watch and search alongside a hearing as it happens. Once a hearing ends, it joins the searchable archive with full transcript search.
