Subtitled
Sign in Get started

Interviews and interrogations, transcribed line by line.

Subtitled transcribes recorded police interviews, interrogations and witness statements. Set two speakers, or more if a second detective or an interpreter is in the room, name each one, correct the draft against the recording, 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). Interviews in Spanish or 60+ other languages can be transcribed as spoken or translated into English as a working copy. It costs $0.25 per hour, so a 2 hour interview is $0.50.

Every word, with who said it and when

In an interview, what matters is often exactly who said what, and when: the advisement, the question, the answer. Each turn in the transcript carries a timestamp back to the recording, and each line a number for citing it in a motion or at trial.

Interviews through an interpreter

Subtitled transcribes each language as spoken, or translates into English. A machine translation is a working copy for reviewing the interview; where a court needs a certified translation, give it to the translator as a starting point.

For agencies

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.

Questions

How do I transcribe a police interview recording?

Drop it into subtitled.live/transcribe, set the number of people in the room, name them, check the draft and download the Court PDF.

Can Subtitled tell the detective and the suspect apart?

Yes. Set the number of speakers and Subtitled groups the voices into exactly that many; then name each one.

Can it transcribe a Spanish interrogation?

Yes, as spoken in Spanish, or translated into English in the same step as a working copy.

Is the transcript certified?

No. It is a machine draft with a declaration page for the person who checks it to sign.
