A Quiet Revolution in Justice: How Intron Accelerates the Delivery of Justice, Transforming Courtrooms in Ogun State with Voice AI
“Sedentary living takes eight years off your life, whoever developed Intron is saving lives.” — Judge, Ogun State Judiciary
This week marked a milestone in our journey at Intron. We sat with the Judiciary of Ogun State to hear firsthand how our Speech-to-Text (STT) solution is reshaping the way justice is served and what we heard was nothing short of transformational.
For decades, the courtroom has been synonymous with long hours, slow processes, and overburdened judges. One of the most striking challenges they face is manual note-taking, judges handwriting every word spoken during proceedings. It’s a task that slows down justice and contributes to fatigue, inefficiency, and even health issues.
But things are changing fast.
Since adopting Intron’s STT system, powered by audio recording tools, file uploads and our intelligent transcription platform, the courtroom rhythm has shifted dramatically. What used to take four hours (from 9 AM to 1 PM) now concludes in 2-3 hours (9 AM to 12 noon). Judges are spending less time on the bench, while attending to more cases, lawyers are getting more done, and proceedings are more focused and impactful.
One of the legal professional said something that stayed with us:
“My Lord no longer has to write during proceedings. He now focuses entirely on what is being said, ensures everything is properly recorded, and we’re achieving much more in significantly less time than before.”
Another reflected:
“Before now, we had to write down everything. It was exhausting and slow. Now, we can focus on what matters — justice.”
But perhaps the most surprising and powerful insight came when a judge noted:
“If Intron had originally been built for the legal system instead of healthcare, we would have made faster progress. The legal sector is far more ready to adopt advanced technologies than we often assume.”
This moment is a glimpse into the future of justice, where technology empowers people, reduces burnout, and accelerates outcomes without compromising due process. It’s a future where health, efficiency, and justice go hand in hand.
To the judges, clerks, and legal professionals in Ogun State thank you for your openness and vision. We’re not just transcribing words; we’re rewriting the story of how justice is delivered in Nigeria and beyond.
Intron is proud to be a part of this revolution. And this is just the beginning.
