Specialized translation services
Types of translation services that are most common in the legal industry.
Document translation
Once we understand how a translation will be used, and the timelines, we choose the right translator and brief them accurately so they can produce their best work.
Machine translation
Our Machine Translation (MT) system can process a massive number of documents to give you an idea of foreign content before selecting items for proper translation.
Notarized translation
An Affidavit of Verification is sworn and signed by the original translator and stamped by our Notary Public. We provide two hard copies. Extra copies upon request.
Transcription
Working with standard audio or video tape, or a digital format, we convert spoken audio recorded in any source language into an MS Word or PDF document.
