Certified transcripts of audio and video for your immigration case

Officers and judges work from paper, and a transcript is how your recording gets read. We turn phone calls, voicemails, videos and recorded interviews into a certified verbatim transcript you can file.

When you need one

Recordings are often part of immigration evidence: a voicemail that shows a threat, a phone call that shows a relationship is real, a video of an event, a recorded interview. The recording itself is hard for an adjudicator to use. A certified transcript puts every word on paper, marks who is speaking, and carries a signed statement that it is complete and accurate.

What you get

A verbatim transcript, meaning every word as spoken, including repetitions and false starts, with speakers identified, times marked, and any part that genuinely cannot be heard marked as inaudible rather than guessed. It comes as a PDF with a signed certificate of accuracy.

How it works

Send the file, or a Google Drive, Dropbox or WeTransfer link, and tell us the length, the language and your deadline. We confirm the price. We produce the transcript, a person reviews every uncertain passage against the audio, and we sign and deliver it.

Keep your original recording exactly as it is. If you ever need to show where it came from, the untouched original is what matters.

Recordings that are not in English need a translation as well; we quote that separately once we know the language. Very poor audio (phone speaker, distant voices) can carry a surcharge, which we only quote after listening.

FAQ

Questions we get about this

Can I use a recording as evidence in my immigration case?

Recordings are commonly submitted, but whether and how to use one is a question for your attorney or accredited representative. What we provide is the transcript: a complete, certified written record of what the recording says.

What if the recording is not in English?

Tell us the language when you ask for a quote. A certified translation requires a translator who is competent in both languages, so we confirm we can certify your language before you pay anything. If we cannot, we will tell you so straight away.

How long does it take?

Standard delivery is 5 business days. Rush delivery within 24 hours is available at 1.5x the standard rate.

What file types do you accept?

Common audio and video files such as MP3, M4A, WAV and MP4, plus voicemail exports and recordings from phones. If you are unsure, send what you have and we will tell you.
