Digital Transcription Services

Get admissible transcripts in days without sacrificing accuracy.

While traditional court reporting has long been the gold standard, evolving demands and a nationwide reporter shortage, now decades in the making, have created real challenges for today’s legal proceedings. Scheduling delays and extended turnaround times have become common, prompting the need for complementary solutions that enhance speed, flexibility, and access.

The IST Digital Reporting Solution

Built for remote depositions, IST captures high-fidelity, multi-channel audio from each participant, no matter where they are. Every session is moderated by a Certified Electronic Reporter to ensure quality, assist with exhibits, and support participants in real time. Transcripts are created using Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), trained in legal language and supported by AI, that enables faster, accurate transcription with human verification and certification.

Let's Address Your Concerns

  • “Is it really as reliable as a court reporter?”

    Yes, and in many ways, it’s even more accurate. Each participant is captured on their own audio channel, then transcribed by ASR and certified by trained professionals, ensuring nothing gets missed and every transcript meets admissibility standards.

  • “Won’t Teams or Zoom do the same thing?”

    Not even close. IST Digital Reporting is purpose built for legal proceedings, unlike consumer video platforms. With IST, exhibits are uploaded privately, controlled by the taking attorney, and shared securely without ever leaving your custody. Access is limited, and nothing gets emailed, screen shared, or dropped in a chat box. It’s a legal first platform that gives you control, clarity, and compliance, start to finish.

  • “Our attorneys don’t want to learn another new tool.”

    We understand! If you’ve used Zoom, you’re 90% there. Most attorneys master exhibit sharing in 5-10 minutes - We also provide pre-deposition training and live support.

  • “Can we use this everywhere?”

    Just about. IST Digital Transcription is available in 46 states with full compliance (and we are adding more every day).
