What is the difference between
FTR Player, FTR Desktop App, and FTR Web Player?

  FTR Player.

FTR Player is the gold-standard free player that accommodates a variety of uploaded file formats, including our proprietary TRM files. It is recommended for court reporters and transcription service providers and can be used on any device, anywhere, anytime. To maximize the benefits of FTR Player, we recommend capturing recordings using the companion program—FTR Gold Recording Suite. 

FTR Web Player  FTR Desktop App.

Our complimentary online FTR Desktop App is suitable for downloading and playing court recordings from For The Record participating courts. It accommodates recordings housed on For The Record’s Cloud Platform platform and works with Mac and PC devices.
