Authorized Court Transcription

Babbar Legal converts audio/video recordings of proceedings and dictation into verbatim transcripts for all Ontario courts, tribunals, and other out-of-court hearings/proceedings.


On June 9, 2014, the Ministry of the Attorney General implemented a new model for producing court transcripts. Where access is not restricted by a statutory provision, common law rule or court order, transcripts of in-court proceedings are available upon request and upon payment of a regulated fee.

All parties interested in ordering a court transcript must select and contact an independent, authorized court transcriptionist (ACT) from the List of Authorized Court Transcriptionists for Ontario and arrange for all aspects of the transcript order, including timeframe required, payment method and delivery options. The authorized court transcriptionist will advise whether there are any access restrictions on the transcript order you would like to place.

Babbar Legal provides certified court transcripts for all Ontario and Superior Court matters in the Province of Ontario for each and every court location, specializing in daily and expedited transcripts as well as large and complicated appeals. Babbar Legal adheres to Ontario’s strict guidelines regarding transcription accuracy while meeting defined deadlines.

Transcripts can be provided on a daily basis for long and complicated trials, with a daily running total on your invoice and a minimum turnaround for bail hearings, 11(b) applications, trial continuations, RECO, Immigration, Border Services, civil suits, and any other purpose for which you may require your transcript.

Ontario court transcripts have government-regulated pricing, which guarantees that, no matter who prepares your transcript, the end result—provided your transcriptionist follows government formatting—will have the same page count. Babbar Legal has a quality-assurance process in place to ensure our transcripts meet and exceed Ministry standards.

Babbar Legal does not outsource transcripts and makes it easy for you—as counsel, Crown, paralegal, legal assistant, member of the public, or government agency—to place an order. Choosing from the ACT list can make it complicated to know who you can count on. Babbar Legal takes that uncertainty out of the equation.
