Recorded jail calls arrive by the dozen. Drop a batch into Subtitled and each call is transcribed in turn with the same settings, two speakers apart and timestamped, so you can read hours of calls in minutes and search them for what matters. Export the calls you will use as 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). It costs $0.25 per hour of audio, so 20 calls of 15 minutes each, five hours, cost $1.25.

Listening to every call takes as long as the calls. Reading the drafts takes a fraction of that, and the timestamps send you straight to the moment in the recording when a line needs checking.
Calls in Spanish, Arabic or 60+ other languages can be transcribed as spoken or translated into English as a working copy for review.
Subtitled is not CJIS certified. Audio is sent to Soniox, our speech provider, to be transcribed; if your agency's policy covers recordings that hold criminal justice information, check it before uploading.
