What is Legal Transcription?
Legal transcription turns audio and video into text transcripts submitted into legal proceedings. These include court cases and mediations. Legal transcription services may sometimes be referred to as legal typing services.
Accuracy is often the most important consideration in legal transcription since the text transcript will be submitted as evidence. As we know, errors in that evidence can negatively affect the outcomes of those legal proceedings.
Examples of legal transcription include:
- Court proceedings
- Witness interviews
- Public hearings
- Arbitrations and mediations
- Depositions
Legal transcription can also be used for day-to-day activities including dictated notes, letters, and memos.
What is AI Legal Transcription?
AI legal transcription uses software instead of human transcriptionists to generate text from audio and video sources. However, accuracy suffers greatly with AI legal transcription. The technology is not advanced enough, resulting in a 14% error rate by some estimates. Sometimes, AI will actually make up whole passages, a phenomenon called AI hallucinations.
One popular AI transcription vendor warns not to use its software in “high-risk domains” because it is not reliable. Although the company doesn’t define “high-risk domain,” the legal profession would certainly be one considering how much the outcomes of legal proceedings can affect peoples’ lives.
Those who do use AI legal transcription must spend more time carefully reviewing their transcripts and fixing those AI transcription errors. In these cases, law firms and independent lawyers can use Elite’s AI transcription editing services to catch or flag the most obvious errors, reducing the workload on their office staff.
What Type of Legal Transcription Do I Need?
Below are a few of the most common types of legal transcription. But no matter what type you and your office needs, Elite provides fast, accurate, reliable legal transcription through secure servers and using 100% U.S.-based transcriptionists.
Court Proceeding Transcription
Court proceeding transcription from a recorded court hearing or similar proceeding is one of the most common types of legal transcription. Elite’s professional legal transcriptionists can turn around your transcription quickly so you’re ready for the next hearing.
Witness Interview Transcription and Recorded Statements
It’s important to record witness interviews for a permanent record of the meeting. However, for the actual court case, mediation, or other legal proceeding, you need a written transcript of the witness interview. Interview transcription also helps you and your team review testimony and write summaries.
Deposition Transcription and Summaries
Depositions are like witness interviews, except the witness is under oath. Depositions are a way to ensure that any statements your witness makes are formalized because they are sworn to tell the truth. Plus, deposition transcription makes writing summaries faster and easier.
Public Hearing Transcription
Similar to court proceedings above, submitting a public hearing to the court can help you build your case. Elite’s trained legal transcriptionists convert those audio or video recordings into a full transcript that you can then submit.
Recorded Phone Conversations and Teleconference Transcription
Many meetings and interviews take place on the phone or via teleconference. Elite can transcribe audio recordings of those meetings to ensure you have a written document of all your recorded phone conversations including multi-party teleconferences.
IME Transcription
Documenting independent medical examinations (IME) quickly and accurately is paramount to any personal injury case. Elite’s fast and efficient legal transcription team ensures you get your IME transcription back quickly.
Dictated Business Letters and Personal Notes
Many attorneys are rediscovering dictation because it’s the fastest and most efficient way to write letters and remember thoughts. You may not always have a pen and paper, but you always have your phone. Simply dictate your notes, upload the audio, and download the text. These legal typing services save you time and hassle in your work day.
Why Do I Need Legal Transcription?
Text documents are vital to preparing your case for court, mediation, arbitration, or some other legal proceeding. Audio and video files are good to have, but you need a written record of those recordings as well.
However, technology has muddied the waters, and hasn’t necessarily made things easier for lawyers.
For example, you may be tempted to try AI legal transcription. Unfortunately, it is not as accurate as you might like. AI is notorious for errors, AI hallucinations (where it simply makes things up on its own), misspellings, and other problems. What’s the point of a transcription “service” if it makes you spend more time fixing mistakes?
On the other hand, doing transcription in house requires a sizeable time commitment, especially if they aren’t professional transcriptionists. Those hours really add up – hours your highly paid staff could spend elsewhere.
Partnering with Elite’s professional legal transcription team eliminates all of these problems. You save time and your high-salary staff can focus on the tasks they were trained to do.
Frequently Asked Questions – Legal Transcription
Case Studies
Founded in 1986, Elite Office Solutions provides legal transcription services for attorneys and law firms throughout the United States. Our clients keep coming back to us because of our speed, accuracy, and ease of use. You don’t need any special equipment, apps, or software to use our services! We also pride ourselves in customer service, providing outstanding services for our clients every time.
Workers’ Compensation Transcription Needs Fast Turnaround
For example, Elite Office Solutions partners with a small law firm to provide them with legal transcription services for their Workers’ Compensation cases. As you may know, turnaround times are often tight due to the nature of these cases. It’s not uncommon for us to receive the recordings at the last minute.
Complicating matters somewhat is the fact that the lawyer in this case often jumps around in thoughts. However, the dedicated transcription team has gotten to learn the lawyer’s mannerisms, so they can still turn around transcription quickly. We ensure that everything is in order for the Complaint, Argument, etc. – the team even double checks citations to ensure all information is correct.
This law firm is always very appreciative of our attention to detail. No matter how tight the timelines, we always make sure the information is complete and correct so that they can file on time, every time.
Medical/Legal Transcription – One of Our Sub-specialities
Another firm turns to us specifically because of our transcriptionists’ expertise in both legal and medical transcription. This personal injury and medical malpractice team sends us recordings of interviews they have with medical experts while preparing for a case. As you can imagine, this involves a lot of medical terminology – terminology that needs to be right in the written record. They’ve been a long-time client because our professional medical/legal transcriptionists do get it right. And if they ever run into a question, our Quality Assurance Managers are available to answer their questions.
That all adds up to more accurate transcription with fewer blanks for faster review by the law firm.
