Session Description: Forensic Transcription/Translation (FTT) work is an increasingly important element in litigation and with it comes an increased need for well-trained FTT practitioners capable of producing evidence-worthy transcripts.

This was fast-paced workshop that covered the procedures, protocols and ethics required to create defensible FTT products suitable for use in court proceedings. Participants learned the proper formatting of FTT documents. We were introduced to listening techniques and specialized software that can use to convert and enhance A/V files, improve listening conditions, create “speaker profiles”, and optimize their comprehension of recorded speech. Legal and ethical aspects of FTT translations were considered in terms of accuracy, fidelity, coded/irregular language usage and terminology research.
