Common questions
The questions most buyers ask before sending the first file. Plain-English answers.
Is the transcript admissible in US federal court?
Yes when accompanied by our certificate of accuracy. For sworn testimony, we provide a notarized affidavit on request. State court rules vary — confirm your jurisdiction's requirements before filing.
Do you handle confidential or sealed proceedings?
Yes. We sign your protective order, and our team works under a master NDA. Files are deleted from our systems on your written request after delivery.
Can you produce a clean-read version alongside verbatim?
Yes. A single order can include both the verbatim transcript and a smoothed clean-read for quick reference, at no extra charge.
