Send the cleanest copy of the recording you have, plus anything that helps us get names and terms right: the case caption, speaker names with spellings, and any log notes. Zip multiple files together, upload securely, and tell us your deadline. Preparation on your end translates directly into speed and accuracy on ours.
What helps more than people expect
Speaker lists with spellings save more correction time than any other single item, especially in multi-party hearings. Case captions let us build the title page right the first time. Log notes or minute entries help us anchor timestamps to what happened. Lists of technical terms, medication names, street names, or company names spare the record from phonetic guesses.
Send the original file rather than a re-recording when you can. A phone held up to a speaker loses exactly the frequencies that make consonants distinguishable, and every generation of copying costs clarity.
Formats, size, and security
We accept all common audio and video formats, and court recording systems' native formats are familiar territory. For multiple files, a zipped folder uploads faster and keeps sessions organized. Files move through our secure upload system, and everyone who touches them works under a signed confidentiality agreement. If your material is especially sensitive, say so and we will discuss handling before you send anything.
