Court reporter (estimated)

Transcript only. Industry estimate.
How the court reporter estimate is calculated
- ·60 audio minutes are counted as one hour of testimony.
- ·About 40 transcript pages per hour, at the standard 25 lines per page.
- ·$3.25 to $5.00 per page for a standard-delivery original transcript.
- ·A $50 to $75 per hour appearance or per diem fee.
- ·The low figure pairs the low rates; the high figure pairs the high rates.
Not included: expedited or same-day delivery, realtime feed, rough drafts, exhibit scanning, videographer fees, shipping, and travel. Each of these adds cost.
This is a general industry estimate for a standard-delivery original transcript, not a quote from any specific provider and not a claim about any named company. Figures are kept toward the lower end of commonly cited ranges. Actual cost varies by region, delivery speed, and exhibits, and realtime or expedited service costs more.
A paralegal doing the same first pass by hand spends billable hours on every file: the transcript, the case summary, and the draft documents.

When you should hire a court reporter instead
Juris Compiler does not replace a court reporter for every purpose. It works from a finished recording and produces a working record for review and drafting. When the situation requires a certified reporter, use one. Here is where that applies.
A certified or official transcript
A court reporter can produce a certified original that carries the reporter's certification for filing. Juris Compiler produces a working transcript for review and drafting, not a certified official record.
Testimony taken under oath
Depositions and other sworn proceedings require an officer authorized to administer the oath and swear the witness. That is a person's function, not software. Juris Compiler transcribes a recording after the fact and cannot place a witness under oath.
A realtime feed during the proceeding
A reporter can stream text to counsel live while a hearing or deposition is underway. Juris Compiler works from a completed recording and returns the transcript afterward, not during the proceeding.
The record on appeal
Appellate review relies on the official transcript prepared and certified by the reporter of record. Use that certified transcript for the record on appeal, not an AI working draft.

Frequently asked questions
How much does legal transcription cost?
Juris Compiler AI is pay-as-you-go at $0.75 per minute of audio or video, rounded up to the nearest whole minute. There is no subscription and no monthly minimum, and you see the exact cost before you pay. A 2-hour deposition is $90.
How does this compare to hiring a court reporter?
A court reporter is the right choice when you need a certified transcript, a witness sworn in, a realtime feed, or the record on appeal. When you already have a recording, Juris Compiler transcribes and analyzes it at $0.75 per minute, so a 2-hour deposition is $90. A standard-delivery court reporter transcript of the same length is typically several times that, and the exact figure varies by region, delivery speed, and exhibits. The pricing page lists the assumptions behind that estimate.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Sign up with Google or Facebook and your first 30 audio minutes are free, no credit card required. The free minutes apply automatically to your uploads, and only time beyond them is billed at $0.75 per minute. Free files get the full experience: transcript, per-line confidence, case intelligence, and record Q&A. Exporting a court-ready or redacted PDF, or an SRT, is the one thing that needs a paid transcript.
How accurate is the AI transcription?
Recordings are transcribed with automatic speaker diarization and a legal-vocabulary boost. Lines the engine is unsure of are flagged for review, so you can verify them before relying on them as evidence.
Can I transcribe long recordings like full depositions or hearings?
Yes. You can upload hours-long audio or video files. Each recording is transcribed end to end, then structured into a diarized, court-ready record.
Is my data private?
Every transcript and matter is isolated to your account. Media is used only to produce the transcript and is deleted from storage once transcription completes, and we keep the results, not the source file.
What do I get besides the transcript?
Each completed record includes speaker labels, detected entities and key phrases, chapters, and AI case intelligence (a case summary, legal issues, and possible actions), plus one-click PDF and SRT export.
