Transcript Cost Estimator

Two numbers in, three answers out. Enter your court's per-page rate and the length of your hearing to see estimated pages and cost before you order.

Estimates use the industry standard of about 45 transcript pages per hour of audio. Final page count varies with the pace of the proceeding; your invoice reflects actual pages. For an exact quote, contact us with your hearing details.

How transcript pricing works

Court transcripts are priced by the page, not by the hour. One hour of recorded proceedings generally produces about 45 pages, so the length of your hearing drives the cost more than anything else. The second driver is turnaround: same-day and expedited tiers carry higher page rates than standard 30-day delivery.

Rates themselves vary by jurisdiction. Federal courts cap transcript rates by tier, and state and county courts set their own. That is why this tool asks for your rate rather than assuming one; put in the rate that applies to your court and tier, and the estimate lands close to reality.

When you are ready for an exact number, place an order or call (855) 873-2223. We confirm the true audio length with the court and quote before beginning. No work starts until you have approved the cost.

FAQ

Estimator questions

Where do I find my page rate?

Federal courts publish maximum transcript rates by turnaround tier, and county courts publish their own rates. If you are unsure, contact us with your court and we will supply the applicable rate.

How accurate is the 45-page figure?

It is the standard planning average for legal proceedings. Fast colloquy runs higher, slow proceedings run lower, and your invoice reflects the actual pages produced.

Does the estimate include expedite fees?

The estimate reflects whatever rate you enter. Faster turnaround tiers carry higher per-page rates, so run the numbers with the tier rate you intend to order.

Can I get a real quote?

Yes, and it costs nothing. Send the order form or call, and we will confirm audio length with the court and quote exactly before any work begins.

Need a transcript? Tell us the hearing and the deadline.

We request the audio from the court, prepare a certified transcript, and deliver it on time. Same day to 30 days, nationwide.
