Methodology

These are archive-scale metrics, not activity metrics for any single customer. Here's what goes into each one.

Video & transcripts

2.4 million-plus hours of government video

The total run time of legislative and regulatory video USLege has captured and transcribed across state legislatures, Congress, and covered local bodies, cumulative since USLege began recording in 2023. This figure grows continuously during legislative sessions and does not reset year to year.

Bill tracking

1.4 million-plus bills tracked

The count of distinct bills, resolutions, and rulemaking dockets USLege has ingested and kept current across all 50 states, Congress, and Puerto Rico, spanning current and prior legislative sessions available in the archive.

Speaker identification

18,000-plus identified speakers

The number of distinct individuals, legislators, witnesses, agency staff, and lobbyists, USLege's speaker-identification pipeline has matched to a name across transcribed hearings. An identified speaker's remarks are searchable by name, not just by hearing.

Coverage

All 50 states, Congress, Puerto Rico, and local government

USLege tracks legislation and rulemaking in every state legislature, both chambers of Congress, and Puerto Rico, plus counties, cities, school boards, and select agencies and special districts on request. Hearing video coverage is strongest where USLege has an active recording pipeline; see the full coverage map for body-by-body detail.
