Ditto understands that while justice is the number one sought thing in every courtroom, all courtrooms operate differently.

Because of this, we accept over 45 different digital audio files along with hard copies of audio from CDs, VHS tapes, flash drives, and cassette tapes—whatever’s needed.

Digital audio files can be sent via our secure online file-sharing system. You may also mail or drop off hard copies of your audio recordings to our office. Please call to arrange delivery or pickup to ensure someone is here.

Completed legal transcripts can be returned online by email or with our secure online file server. You can also pick up your completed document(s) at our Denver, Colorado office or arrange for us to send you a hard copy via US Mail, FedEx, or UPS directly to your law offices.

Whether inside or outside a courtroom, most legal proceedings are recorded with audio and video technology. Sometimes, a court reporter or stenographer records what the parties say and do live and in person. 

Regardless of the method used to capture legal conversations, most require transcribing into the correct file formats so others can also read the transcripts.

Legal transcripts play a vital role in the flow of information and the legal process. Attorneys and legal teams rely on court-certified legal transcriptions to plan cases and construct winning legal strategies. They also review past cases and witness testimony from other trials. 

Retaining a transcription company that can produce certified legal transcripts quickly and accurately will save time and money.

Attorneys, legal professionals, and self-represented individuals require professional transcription services to navigate their cases through the legal process. Access to court transcriptionists who can provide accurate online legal transcription services streamlines an attorney’s workflow, saving valuable time.

Audio and Video Transcription Services Improve Case Organization

Having accurate and fast legal transcribers is necessary to document the audio files produced for a particular case accurately. These services work as a bridge between attorneys and their clients.

In the legal world, time is money. Virtually every lawyer bills their clients in fifteen-minute increments. The more time an attorney or their staff commit to correcting transcription errors, the more they will have to charge their clients. More importantly, attorneys prefer to use their valuable (and expensive) time to develop case strategy than read inaccurate transcripts.

An accurate and well-formatted legal document is a vital tool. Judges, clients, and others reviewing a deposition, a hearing, or trial transcripts can quickly understand important questions and their responses. Appellant courts and judges rely heavily on certified legal transcripts when deciding whether to confirm or overturn a lower court’s ruling.

More importantly, certification is required for a transcript to be used or submitted as evidence in a legal case. 

Outside the courtroom, accurate certified transcription services are also required for:

  • Interviews
  • Deposition Summaries
  • Custody Hearings
  • Conference Calls
  • Client Meetings
  • Witness Statements

If your need is not on this list, our legal transcribing services cover even further. Call us for more information.

Outsourcing transcription solutions to accurate and professional companies may be a great value proposition. However, it won’t mean anything if they can’t keep up with demand. 

Law firms, courtrooms, and other legal entities record hundreds or even thousands of hours of audio every month, which is vital to the fair and proper implementation of the American Justice System. 

With Ditto, you don’t need to worry about scaling. We provide enterprise-level legal transcription solutions with the same quality across the board. That means 99% accuracy by 100% US-based human transcribers, leading to 100% satisfaction guaranteed. No need to depend on shoddy, automated legal transcription software for your court transcripts.

On top of all of that, we also offer: 

  • Customization options: We’ll ensure all documents and transcripts are formatted according to specifications so they can be slotted into any legal workflow with minimal effort. 
  • Increased efficiency: High volumes require high quality, and we can handle both. Our fast and accurate legal typing services mean no duplication of effort for error correction. 
  • Faster turnaround times: Don’t get left on read. Get your transcripts quickly to improve case preparation and research. 
  • Guaranteed delivery times: Let us know when you need your transcripts, and you’ll get them on the dot, ensuring everything goes smoothly for your firm or agency. 
  • Streamlined workflows: Integrate seamlessly with existing systems for effortless transcript management. Forget old-school research and search for specific keyphrases for faster access to information. 
  • Enhanced security: Every recording, word, and byte of data will be handled within our CJIS-compliant processes, ensuring that all legal audio and transcription results are kept confidential. 

We also offer faster delivery times or more economical rates for different budgets.

What exactly is legal transcription, and how is it different from general transcription?

Legal transcription converts recorded legal proceedings, dictations, and audio or video files into accurate, properly formatted written documents. Unlike general transcription, it demands fluency in legal terminology, court-formatting standards, and certification requirements that make a transcript admissible. At Ditto Transcripts, every file is handled by experienced U.S.-based transcriptionists who understand the legal field, so your transcripts are precise, properly formatted, and ready when you need them.

Are your legal transcripts certified, and can they be used in court?

Yes. We provide certified legal transcripts, and certification is what allows a transcript to be submitted as evidence or relied on in an appeal. Judges, appellate courts, and opposing counsel depend on accurate certified transcripts, which is why every document we deliver meets the standards required for use in the legal process.

Who do you work with?

Ditto serves law firms, independent and prosecuting attorneys, in-house counsel, paralegals, legal assistants, court systems, electronic court recorders, and legal service companies. We also work directly with self-represented individuals who need accurate transcripts to navigate their cases. Whatever your role in the legal process, we format the finished document to fit your workflow.

What types of legal proceedings and documents do you transcribe?

Our team handles depositions, trials, court hearings, witness statements, interrogations, wiretaps, police reports, jury instructions, custody hearings, conference calls, and client meetings. We also produce deposition summaries and medico-legal transcripts. If your project falls outside this list, call us, because our legal transcription work covers far more than we can fit on one page.

How accurate are your legal transcripts?

Every legal transcript carries our 99% accuracy guarantee, produced by 100% U.S.-based human transcribers rather than automated software. Accuracy matters most in legal work, where a single misheard word can change the meaning of testimony. Our process is built so you receive a finished transcript you can use without spending billable hours on corrections.

How do you protect confidentiality and meet legal compliance standards?

Confidentiality is built into every step of our process. All of our legal transcriptionists are U.S.-based and have passed criminal background checks, and every recording and transcript is handled within our CJIS-compliant workflow. We are also an approved vendor of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, so your sensitive legal audio stays secure and protected from start to finish.

What turnaround times do you offer, and can you handle rush jobs?

Our standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days, with extended pricing available at 6 to 10 business days for budget-conscious projects. When you need it faster, our rush service delivers in 1 to 2 business days, and we can accommodate rush files in as little as 4 hours. That is significantly faster than waiting on a standard court reporter.

How much does legal transcription cost?

Legal transcription is priced per audio minute, and our standard rate is $1.75 per audio minute on a 3 to 5 day turnaround. Rush and extended options are available depending on how quickly you need your transcripts. Because we work this way, we are roughly 50% less expensive than traditional court reporting firms, with no long-term contract required.

Do you offer verbatim transcription?

Yes. We provide verbatim transcription of hearings, depositions, interviews, legal proceedings, and any other audio where every word matters. Verbatim work captures the full record exactly as spoken, which is often essential for testimony and evidentiary use. Let us know your requirements, and we will match the level of detail your case demands.

What audio and video formats do you accept?

We accept more than 45 different digital audio and video file types, which you can send through our secure online file-sharing system. We also handle hard-copy media, including CDs, VHS tapes, flash drives, and cassette tapes. You can upload files, mail them, or drop them off at our Denver office, whatever works best for you.

Can you format transcripts to our court’s or firm’s specifications?

Yes. We format every document to your specifications so it slots directly into your existing legal workflow with no rework. Whether you follow a specific court’s formatting rules or your firm’s internal template, our team matches it exactly. That consistency means your paralegals and staff spend zero time reformatting what we deliver.

Do you offer Spanish or other language legal transcription?

Yes. We provide Spanish legal translation services for depositions, court proceedings and hearings, employment and administrative hearings, independent medical examinations, and legal correspondence such as letters and memos. If you have a language requirement beyond Spanish, contact us, and we will let you know how we can help.

How are completed transcripts delivered?

Finished transcripts are returned through our secure online file server or by email, whichever you prefer. You can also pick up completed documents at our Denver, Colorado office, or we can send a hard copy directly to your offices via U.S. Mail, FedEx, or UPS. The delivery method is yours to choose.

Can you handle high-volume or enterprise-level legal work?

Absolutely. Law firms, courts, and agencies record hundreds or thousands of hours of audio every month, and our enterprise solutions scale to meet that volume with the same 99% accuracy across the board. You get customizable formatting, guaranteed delivery times, streamlined workflows, and CJIS-compliant security on every file.
