Legal transcription and translation
Recorded evidence, transcribed and translated.
Call recordings, interviews, video evidence and hearings, transcribed verbatim and translated, with timestamps and speaker labels so the transcript can be cited.
When you need it
A recording is not evidence until someone can read it.
Recordings arrive in whatever language the conversation happened in, often with several speakers, crosstalk and long passages that are not relevant. Before anyone can decide whether it helps the matter, it has to exist as text.
We transcribe verbatim in the spoken language first, then translate, so the translation can always be checked against what was actually said.
Documents we translate
Recordings we work with
- Call recordings and voice notes
- Interviews and recorded statements
- Video evidence and CCTV audio
- Hearing and proceeding recordings
- Internal investigation interviews
- Conference and meeting recordings
- Dictated notes and voice messages in regional languages
- Media clips relied on as exhibits
How it works
Verbatim first, translated second, both delivered
-
Send the document
With the languages, the deadline, and whether it is going on record. Tell us if a certification is needed.
-
AI built for legal language prepares the draft
Trained on legal language, so defined terms, citations and structure survive the first pass intact.
-
A legal translator reviews every line
Against the source, for meaning, terminology and omissions. Never skipped, whatever the deadline.
-
Delivery, then deletion
You receive the translation in the format you need, with an affidavit or certification if required. Files are deleted after delivery.
Proof
What makes a transcript usable in a matter
Verbatim, not tidied
The transcript records what was said, including repetition and interruption, because that is sometimes the point being argued.
Timestamps
Timed throughout, so a passage can be cited and found again in the recording.
Speaker labels
Speakers are separated and labelled consistently across the transcript.
Both versions
You receive the source-language transcript and the translation, so the two can be read against each other.
Common questions
Before you send the first file
Do we get the original-language transcript as well as the translation?
Yes. Both are delivered. The source-language transcript is what the translation is checked against, and it is often what gets put to a witness.
How do you handle poor audio quality or crosstalk?
Inaudible passages are marked as inaudible with a timestamp rather than guessed at. Where speakers overlap, that is shown in the transcript.
Can you work from regional-language recordings?
Yes, in all Indian languages, as well as major foreign languages for cross-border matters.
Is the translation reviewed the same way as a document?
Yes. A legal translator reviews the translated transcript against the source-language transcript before it reaches you.
Can you transcribe only the relevant sections?
Yes, if you can tell us the timestamps or what to listen for. Otherwise we transcribe in full, which is usually safer where the recording may be relied on.
Send the recording and the deadline.
Tell us the language, the running time and whether the transcript will be relied on. We will confirm a quote and delivery time.
