We understand the importance of accuracy, especially when working with multilingual content or technical legal subjects across areas like finance, medicine, or immigration law.

- Notaries and embassies
What Is Legal Transcription and Why It Matters
Legal transcription is the process of converting spoken legal content into an accurate, professional text document. Unlike general transcription, legal transcripts must follow specific rules, including clear speaker identification, verbatim content, and formatting that aligns with legal expectations.
At Spectrum Translations, we customize every transcript to your specifications whether it’s a simple Q&A format or a court-style layout with speaker tags, timestamps, line numbers, and headers. Let us know what your case or jurisdiction requires, and we’ll adapt accordingly.
