Transcripts and analysis

Interpreter audit

The interpreter's English, checked against the witness's own words

The problem

When a witness testifies through an interpreter, the transcript records the interpreter's English, not the witness's words. Omissions, summaries, and softened phrasing are hard to catch in the room and harder to show afterward.

What we do

We transcribe the witness's original-language audio on our own hardware, translate it literally, and compare it line by line with the interpreted English in the certified transcript. We need audio with both languages on it, which every recording we make has.

What you get

A PDF listing passages where the interpretation may have omitted words, softened language, or changed the meaning, each cited to page and line. Flags are for a qualified interpreter to confirm before anyone relies on them.
