Court Reporters and Transcription Editing and Proofreading Services

A transcript is not a description of what happened — legally, it is what happened. Appeals are argued from it, findings rest on it, and a witness's answer exists in the form the transcript gives it. That makes transcription the one kind of legal writing where improving a sentence would be a serious error.

We support court reporters and transcription services with proofreading against agency and court formatting standards, consistency checks across long and multi-volume transcripts, speaker attribution and Q&A formatting verification, index and page-line reference checking, and preparation of certificate pages and title blocks. Our editors verify names, technical terms, exhibit numbers, and citations for spelling and consistency without altering testimony — a misspelled expert's name or a drug named three different ways across four volumes is a genuine problem, and correcting it is not the same as changing the record.

We also help with style guides and glossaries for long matters. Where a case involves specialist vocabulary, agreeing the spellings in advance saves an enormous amount of correction later and keeps a team of transcribers consistent.

All transcripts and audio are treated as strictly confidential, including sealed and publication-banned proceedings. Verbatim means verbatim: we flag, we do not fix.
