Courtroom transcriptions are written accounts of court proceedings. Transcripts are typically created by a court reporter to provide a word-for-word record of every court proceeding that occurred during a given legal proceeding, including witness and expert testimony, attorney statements, questions and arguments, and verdicts. These written accounts are typically made publicly available when requested by an interested party.

Types of Courtroom Transcription Services

Whether you have an audio file acquired from another court reporting service, or would like us to transcribe reports we have gathered for you, we guarantee that all transcriptions will be done by only the most trained and highly skilled transcriptionists and reporters for a result that is unmatched in the industry. Our transcription services include:

  • Real-Time Transcription
    Real-time transcription is the process of transcribing words into written text as they are being spoken. Hudson court reporters use real-time text technologies to deliver text to computer screens within seconds of the words being spoken. We use specialized software that allows participants in court hearings or depositions to make notes in the text and highlight portions for future reference.
  • Deposition Transcription
    Attorneys often take notes during depositions, but these notes are not legal records accepted by the courts. Depositions transcripts provide precise, legal records of events that offer attorneys and their clients a word-for-word record of every event that occurs during the deposition. The deposition transcript, a detailed deposition summary, is also a valuable tool for attorneys to use as they prepare for any future depositions, a trial or other legal proceedings.
  • Daily Transcripts
    Daily transcripts are particularly helpful in cases that are complex. Unlike standard transcripts that are requested at the completion of a trial, daily transcripts are prepared at the end of each day during the course of the legal proceeding.
  • Final Transcripts
    Final Transcripts provide an accurate, verbatim record of every spoken word during the entire course of a legal proceeding.

We accept files of any size, and ensure that your file hierarchy and current folder structure remain unchanged. Hudson audio transcription services provide quick turnaround times based on your timeline, even if your transcription is needed the same day. Your transcription will be delivered to you with the full and verbatim record of the legal proceeding, in whatever format meets your requirements including PDF, .txt, Microsoft Word, .ptx, and .rtf.

Hard copies that include an attached CD-R of the electronic transcript may also be requested. Your hardcopy will include a printed label of the file information, and will be stored in a sleeve that is attached to the hard copy of the transcript.

    FAQs

    Why is Courtroom Transcription important?

    Court transcription is vital because it can affect the decision or result of many different types of cases. These transcribed records can be helpful in discovery or used as evidence in a trial because the content of the records are checked for flow and accuracy during the transcription process, making the transcript more reliable.

    What is deposition transcription?

    Deposition transcription services are not only helpful in keeping precise records of events, but they help attorneys develop a plan of action for providing further evidence, future questions to ask a witness, and understanding the decisions of juries and judges.
    Although attorneys often take notes during a deposition, it is the deposition transcription that provides the accurate detail of the deposition summary. The lack of a legal transcript can also complicate or delay processes, like appeals.

    Why is deposition transcription important for legal proceedings?

    A deposition transcription provides courts, attorneys and their clients with an accurate, verbatim record of the deposition and helps the attorney prepare for future legal proceedings. Exact, accurate accounting of events is crucial to the discovery of all the facts and information from witnesses to promote a fair trial.

    How is deposition transcription different from other forms of transcription?

    Deposition transcripts are transcribed audio recordings of witness testimony that occurs during a deposition, which is the sworn testimony of a witness in a court case prior to going to trial. The witness is placed under oath in the absence of a judge and questioned by attorneys while being recorded. The audio is then transcribed for court purposes.

    How can I ensure the accuracy of my deposition transcript?

    To ensure your transcriber accurately transcribes your proceeding, there are a few things you need to do. Prior to the deposition the witness needs to be told the importance of clear communication during the deposition. They should avoid verbal utterances like huh, oh, and uh uh to prevent misinterpretation. All speakers should clearly identify themselves prior to making any statements and should be advised not to speak over others. Deposition transcribers are well-versed in legal terminology, but unfamiliar words should be spelled out to ensure accurate transcripts.

    How long does it typically take to receive a deposition transcript?

    Once the deposition is complete, it can take an average of 7 to 10 days for the completed transcription to be delivered to you. Faster turnaround times are possible if requested.

    What is a condensed deposition transcript?

    The deposition transcript can be quite lengthy, and contain a lot of information that is irrelevant to a case. A condensed deposition transcript is the summarized version of a voluminous deposition transcript that is used to help attorneys identify key points that will help them be successful with their case.

    Can a condensed deposition transcript be used as evidence in court?

    Yes it can be used as evidence in court.
