Courts - FTR-For The Record

Modern Courts, Smarter Justice, Trusted Technology.

We work in close partnership with courts to modernize how a record of justice—every pertinent word of a legal proceeding— is captured, managed, accessed, and delivered. Our audio recording software and systems are purpose-built for court environments to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility for all participants.

Critically, everything we do is grounded in the unique sensitivities of the justice system. We know how vital trust and integrity are to the administration of justice. That’s why our technology meets the strictest global standards for security, privacy, and compliance—from system design to deployment.

Efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility for justice.

Challenges Facing Today’s Courts.

Your administration has likely faced one or several of these obstacles when using legacy systems.

Delays and Backlogs Are Growing

Many court systems are experiencing unprecedented caseloads and long-standing delays. This slows the delivery of justice and places enormous strain on judicial staff.

Staffing Shortages Are Reaching Critical Levels

Courts everywhere are contending with shortages of court reporters, clerks, and administrative staff. Recruiting stenographers is increasingly challenging, and the accelerating pace of stenographer retirements is leaving many courts under-resourced and overstretched.

Legacy Systems Can’t Keep Pace

Outdated, manual workflows are creating bottlenecks across court operations, from scheduling to court record capture and delivery. These inefficiencies lead to adjournments, duplication of work, and limited access to critical information.

Technology Adoption Remains Cautious

While AI and other emerging tools are proving transformative across industries, many courts are still in the early stages of digital transformation—if at all. Yet the opportunity is clear: smart, secure court technology can unlock significant time savings and operational relief.

How We Support Courts.

We work closely with courts to implement practical, impactful technology that integrates seamlessly with existing operations. Our solutions are designed to address real-world challenges—without compromising judicial process, security, or control.

Advanced Cloud-Based Recording

In addition to our trusted on-premises recording software, FTR Gold, we offer the streaming, cloud-based Justice Cloud Recorder—the foundation of our FTR Justice Cloud platform. This flexible digital court recording software solution supports multiple languages, captures higher-quality audio, and applies sophisticated sound enhancement via cloud processing—ideal for noisy or complex environments. It pairs seamlessly with FTR RealTime for instant speech-to-text, significantly boosting accessibility and usability of courtroom content.

Instant, Searchable Records

Our real-time speech-to-text technology delivers fast, highly accurate courtroom records with speaker attribution and linked audio—helping authorized users find and review the information they need, when they need it.

Reduced Reliance on Scarce Resources

We help courts mitigate staffing shortages without sacrificing quality or compliance by automating critical components of court record capture, management, and access.

Safeguarding Court Data

FTR Justice Cloud is an online platform built with the highest security standards to protect sensitive court data at every step. This robust security framework provides courts with peace of mind, ensuring confidential information remains safe while enabling flexible, remote, and hybrid access to courtroom content.

Built-In Oversight and Analytics

Powerful dashboards and reporting tools give courts better visibility into their operations, helping them measure impact, track improvements, and allocate resources with confidence.

Seamless Collaboration with Transcription Firms

For situations that require certified transcripts, courts can easily allocate certified transcript jobs to firms through a streamlined process that enhances transparency, speeds turnaround, and provides clear visibility of progress. Leveraging court record repositories prevents duplicate work, saving time and resources for all parties.

Trusted Court Partnership

With more than 30 years of experience supporting courts, we understand the stakes, environment, and expectations. From implementation to ongoing support, we’re committed to long-term success.
