Why manage your legal transcriptions professionally?
Fact 1: Your court case may depend on a single word
Whether it’s trial tapes, a deposition, or court proceedings, accurate transcriptions cannot be downplayed. Your legal case might depend on a single utterance.
Fact 2: A good legal transcriptionist isn’t enough
Audio or video files may come in very poor quality, which means that special software may be required to make the utterances intelligible enough to be transcribed.
Fact 3: Dealing with a multilingual audio or video file?
The files on which your legal case rests might often come in many languages. So besides handling transcription, you will also need to hire a professional translation agency. That’s double the workload.
Fact 4: Your legal transcriptions may need document certification
Any transcription file you present in court will need to be accompanied by an official certification that attests to its accuracy. That requires yet another step for your to handle.

Additional benefits of appointing your legal transcriptions to a trusted partner
1. Cost savings
A paralegal’s or a court reporter’s salary is much higher than a professional legal transcriptionist’s.
In addition, when outsourcing the transcription, you pay for the volume of work, not a fixed salary.
2. Scalability
When you are in the middle of a trial, you can’t predict the amount of material that is going to come up in discovery.
We have the capacity to easily ramp up the number of transcribers, if necessary.
3. Native-language transcriptionists
We only work with experienced, native transcriptionists. And we can provide you with assistance in over 200 languages.
