Real-Time Access. Strategic Advantage for Law Firms.

With FTR RealTime instant speech-to-text, attorneys gain access to live, highly accurate draft content—synced with courtroom audio—and available just seconds behind the spoken word. You don’t need to wait for the certified transcript to begin building your appeal.
