WHAT IS THE PROCESS?

Transcripts of court proceedings in Ontario can only be processed by a certified ACT (Authorized Court Transcriptionist). Once your order is placed, we will contact the courthouse staff and request the audio. After the audio has been received, we are in the best position to quote your order.  Court transcripts are priced on a per page basis. Of course, poor recording quality, varying speech cadence, speed, or overlapping speech can affect the length of the transcript. However, as a general rule a half hour of audio will produce approximately 20-25 pages.

The regulated rates are as follows for e-copies (add an extra $0.80/page for hard copies):

Within 30 days (90 days for appeal transcripts):  $6.30/page

Within 5 business days:  $8.80/page

Within 24 hours (from receipt of audio):  $11.75/page

Previously Transcribed, copy rate:  $0.80/page for hard copies or $25 for e-copies

Minimum Charge:  $25.00

NOTE:  If you will be requiring your transcript sooner than later, it is best to choose an expedited rate. Court staff process requests for audio according to the level of service the transcriptionist's client has requested. Take for example this scenario: Court staff are receiving orders from multiple transcriptionists. If the majority of requests are for expedited service, the staff will be occupied with filling those orders as a priority. The "within 30-day" orders may not be processed for several days, creating delay before the transcriptionists even receives the audio.
