Subtitled transcribes the audio from dashcam footage, from police cruisers or your own car, for traffic court, an insurance claim or an accident case. Drop in the clip, name the voices, correct the draft against the video, and download a searchable Court PDF on Letter paper with 25 numbered lines a page, a caption page, timestamps and a transcriber's declaration to sign, or an editable Word file ($5.00 per hour of recording, on top of the $0.25 transcript). Your footage never leaves your computer; only the sound is sent to be transcribed. A 10 minute clip costs about $0.04.

Most dashcams overwrite old footage after a few days, so save the clip as soon as you can. Give the court or insurer the original, unedited file from the camera, and use a copy for the transcript, so nothing about the evidence itself has changed.
Recording what people say is governed by state law. About 11 states, including California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington, generally require everyone's consent to record a private conversation, according to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. A recording made against those laws can be kept out of court, so check your state before relying on in-car audio.
A transcript lets an adjuster read what the other driver said at the scene without scrubbing through video, and the timestamps point to the exact moment in the footage.

Drop a copy of the clip into subtitled.live/transcribe, name the speakers, check the draft against the video and download it as a Court PDF, a Word file or text.
It can be, if it is relevant, authentic and lawfully recorded. In states that require everyone's consent to record a conversation, in-car audio of passengers or others can be a problem. Ask a lawyer in your state.
Both: the original, unedited video is the evidence, and the transcript makes it quick to read.
$0.25 per hour of audio for the transcript, so a 10 minute clip is about $0.04, or $0.88 with the Court PDF and Word file.
