Question 1

What is the difference between a certified transcript and a rough draft?

Accepted Answer

A certified transcript is the official, final version of a proceeding that has been reviewed, corrected, and certified by a court reporter as a true and accurate record. It includes proper formatting, page and line numbers, and an official certification page. A rough draft is an unofficial, unedited version delivered quickly after proceedings for immediate review but should not be quoted or used for official purposes.

How quickly can I receive a transcript?

Accepted Answer

We offer multiple delivery options including standard delivery (5-7 business days), expedited (48-72 hours), rush (24 hours), and daily copy (same day). Realtime reporting provides instantaneous translation during the proceedings.

Question 3

What formats are available for transcripts?

Accepted Answer

We provide transcripts in multiple formats including PDF, Microsoft Word (.docx), plain text (.txt), and legal-specific formats (.ptx, .etran). We also offer full-size transcripts, condensed (4-per-page) versions, word indexes, and electronic delivery options.
