SERVICES
We use Marantz Professional audio equipment to record proceedings for transcription at a later date, including discoveries, examinations under oath, hearings, conferences, and arbitration. We also offer virtual court reporting through video conference or teleconference. Please note that we do not set up virtual proceedings and will require a link from the host to participate.
We provide certified transcription of recordings made by court stenographers and non-certified transcription of other recordings, such as RCMP interviews. Our software accepts most types of audio, so please contact us if you need a specific file transcribed.
