Court/police interview/legal transcription

[Toddlertwos]

Does anyone currently work for a legal transcription company on a freelance basis?

I am talking specialist transcription - such as court hearing/police interviews etc - so not something that AI could be used for.

I work in a very niche area of law where I have experience of legal transcribing and I’m looking into the possibility of going freelance with one/a few of the companies that we use via work to transcribe these type of documents.

i am just trying to put the feelers out at to whether there’s enough work in this field or if it’s something that is not feasible. I only work part time so I’m not necessarily looking to supplement a full time income.

if anyone is currently in this field please can you let me know how you you find it any other info you think I might find useful :) thanks so much in advance.

Police/CPS do their own transcripts. Courts have employees doing it for them, I doubt they would use freelance.

There are probably other areas of law that may use freelance but I don’t think the Criminal Justice System would be one of them. Someone may say different though.

The area of law in which I work I can assure you the court (family) do not do their own transcriptions, we use at least 5 different transcription agencies (who employ freelancers, obviously with relevant experience).

Police interviews are also transcribed by these people (for our court proceedings).

I was just after info from someone freelancing for one of these 5 (that I’m aware of) there may even be more.

thanks for your input though.
