Legal Transcription Service

Legal transcriptionists convert audio recordings to written text for legal proceedings - depositions, hearings, trials, attorney dictation, and legal recordings.

You listen to audio, type accurate verbatim transcripts, format according to legal standards, and deliver completed transcripts.

Rates range from $1-$3 per audio minute or $75-$150 per hour of audio.

Transcribing 30-60 audio hours monthly generates $35,000-$120,000 annually with 70-85% margins.

Target clients include law firms and attorneys, court reporting agencies, legal departments, insurance companies for recorded statements, and legal audio services.

Services include deposition transcription, hearing and trial transcription, attorney dictation transcription, recorded statement transcription, legal document typing, and expedited rush services.

Success requires excellent typing speed (70+ WPM), understanding of legal terminology and procedures, attention to detail and accuracy, transcription software proficiency, and meeting tight deadlines.

Many legal transcriptionists work remotely from home, specialize in deposition or court proceedings, use transcription software and foot pedals, potentially work through transcription agencies initially, charge premium for rush services, and scale by hiring additional transcriptionists.
