Certified transcripts of immigration court hearing recordings

You have the hearing audio and a deadline. We transcribe EOIR hearing recordings, including the .a00 files the court's recording system exports, into a certified transcript with page and line numbers.

Built for motions and appeals

Attorneys order hearing transcripts to prepare an appeal, a motion to reopen or reconsider, or simply to know exactly what was said on the record. We work from the recording you obtained from the court and deliver a transcript your team can cite.

What you get

Page and line numbering. Speaker identification where the recording allows it, including the judge, counsel, the respondent and the interpreter. Inaudible and overlapping passages marked as such rather than guessed. A signed certification page. PDF delivery, with an editable copy on request.

DAR files

Immigration court recordings often arrive as .a00 files, which ordinary media players will not open. Send them as you received them. We handle the conversion, and we will tell you if the export looks incomplete, for example if only one segment of a longer hearing was included.

Interpreted hearings

Where the hearing was interpreted, the English on the record is transcribed verbatim. Transcribing and translating the non-English portions is a separate service, quoted once we know the language.

Pricing

Priced by the minute of audio

$1.49 per audio minute for a certified verbatim transcript. Rush delivery within 24 hours is 1.5x. The minimum order is $35.00. You pay for the actual length of the recording, and we confirm the exact figure before we start.

22 minute recording$35.00 standard, $49.17 rush
60 minute recording$89.40 standard, $134.10 rush
120 minute recording$178.80 standard, $268.20 rush

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

Do you accept .a00 files?

Yes. Send the files exactly as the court provided them. We convert them ourselves and check the total length against what you expect, so a missing segment is caught before we start.

How is the transcript formatted?

Page and line numbered, with speakers identified where the audio allows, inaudible passages marked, and a signed certification page, delivered as a PDF.

Can you meet a filing deadline?

Rush delivery within 24 hours is available at 1.5x the standard rate. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we will confirm whether we can meet it before you commit.

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.
