Many court reporters must pass a national certification test requiring them to type at speeds of up to 225 WPM with 95% accuracy. This speed is essential during real-time court proceedings and makes transcription a skill that demands both training and precision. Our transcribers are trained with similar real-time accuracy standards to deliver prompt, dependable transcripts.

Legal terminology includes over 25,000 Latin phrases. From habeas corpus to pro bono, legal language is filled with Latin-based terms that require contextual understanding to transcribe correctly. This makes transcription in the legal field uniquely complex. Our experienced legal transcribers are fluent in legal terminology, ensuring every phrase is interpreted and formatted accurately.


Legal Document Formatting & Compliance With Court Standards
Legal paperwork comes with its own set of rules, right? We’re here to help you meet those expectations.

The U.S. sees over 40 million lawsuits filed each year. Each of these cases generates discovery notes, depositions, hearings, and evidence recordings that often need transcription for trial preparation and legal review. We help manage this influx with structured, case-ready transcripts that make legal processing faster and easier.

Transcripts are essential for appeals in over 85% of cases. Appeal courts rely heavily on written records, especially transcripts, to reevaluate a case. If a transcript is flawed, the entire appeal can be jeopardized. We provide legally formatted, court-ready transcripts that meet appeal court standards and help preserve your case integrity.

Legal transcriptions are admissible in court only if verified and certified. Courts often require transcription to be certified or produced by an accredited provider to be used as evidence. This ensures the authenticity of the record. We offer certified legal transcription services that comply with all court submission requirements.
Legal Transcription for Specialized Fields and Case Categories
Legal cases span across various industries, each with its own terminology and compliance needs. Our transcription services are tailored to support specific fields where precision and subject knowledge are essential. Below are some of the key areas we specialize in to ensure accurate, context-aware legal documentation.
A typical deposition lasts between 3 to 7 hours. These long sessions often result in dozens of pages of spoken testimony that must be transcribed into accurate, searchable formats. Our transcription process is designed to handle lengthy sessions with consistency, speed, and attention to detail.

Client Information
Client Industry: Legal Services
Location: Gainesville, Georgia, USA
File Information
File Type & Duration: Audio recording, 120 minutes
Goal
The client, a litigation manager at a law firm, required a certified legal transcription of a sensitive audio file featuring a multi-speaker discussion related to Title IX compliance. The transcription needed to be verbatim, include time-coded speaker changes, and meet legal documentation standards for submission as a deposition exhibit. Additionally, the client requested a backdated Certificate of Transcription (COT) to align with a specific internal reference timeline.
Key Challenges
- • Multi-Speaker Complexity: The audio included 5 speakers, requiring precise identification and labeling.
- • Legal Sensitivity: The content related to a Title IX investigation, necessitating utmost accuracy and confidentiality.
- • Backdated Certification: The client needed the COT to reflect a specific date (February 1st) despite ordering the document later, introducing procedural coordination.
- • Repeat Request During Remote Operations: The client, operating remotely due to external circumstances, needed a reissued COT for legal presentation.
Speakers & Languages
Number of Speakers: 5 (Phil Landrum, Cory Thompson, Mary Rose Green, Tony Young, Jason Coffman)
Language: English (native)
Delivery Time
Delivered within 3 business days from the confirmation of the order and file upload.
Strategy
Vanan’s team assigned the project to experienced legal transcriptionists with expertise in U.S. legal standards. The transcription was:
- • Verbatim,
- • Time-coded per speaker change,
- • Formatted without a case summary,
- • Reviewed internally for quality assurance.
To accommodate the certification request, the COT was carefully adjusted to reflect the original transcript date after internal verification, ensuring both compliance and client satisfaction. The transcription was returned along with a downloadable certification document suitable for court use.
Results
- • 100% speaker identification accuracy, enhancing clarity in legal review.
- • Certified transcript accepted as legal documentation for deposition.
- • Seamless support and communication, even with the client’s remote work constraints.
- • Repeat client engagement, reflecting satisfaction and trust in Vanan’s service reliability.
