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.

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.
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.
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.
