Is your legal transcription service Privacy Act compliant?

Yes. All recordings are processed exclusively on AWS servers in Sydney, Australia. Files are permanently deleted immediately after processing. Data never crosses international borders, which protects client privilege and avoids APP 8 cross-border disclosure obligations.

Can you transcribe court hearings and witness statements?

Yes. Australian Transcription handles law firm client interviews, witness statements, mediation sessions, arbitration recordings, and internal counsel meetings. Speaker identification labels each participant automatically.

How much does legal transcription cost in Australia?

Australian Transcription is priced at $0.02 AUD per minute for transcription with speaker recognition, or $0.03/min with tone analysis. The first hour (60 minutes) is free with no credit card required.

Do you offer API integration for legal practice management systems?

Yes. Australian Transcription offers a REST API for direct integration with practice management and document management systems. See our API documentation at /docs.

Data Sovereignty for Legal Professionals

Client communications and legal proceedings are privileged. Sending recordings offshore for transcription risks breaching that privilege and creates cross-border data exposure under the Privacy Act.

Client privilege protected

Data never crosses international borders. No overseas third parties handling privileged communications — ever.

Auto-delete after processing

Recordings and transcripts are permanently deleted immediately after processing. Nothing retained on our servers.

Timestamped transcripts

Every line time-coded. Essential for cross-referencing testimony, preparing submissions, and producing court-ready documents.
