What it is

FTR Justice Cloud captures, stores, reviews, and manages court records. It records courtroom audio and video, supports live speech-to-text with speaker identification, and provides playback, monitoring, transcription, and summaries. Judges, clerks, and attorneys can review and annotate proceedings, while courts can handle requests for recordings, certified transcripts, and speech-to-text outputs. Courts may also provide online ordering, request tracking, and secure delivery. The system supports existing courtroom hardware, legacy audio uploads, and connections to case-management, evidence-management, and other systems. Recording can continue locally without connectivity; audio uploads and speech-to-text generation resume when a connection returns. The maker says recordings and transcripts are not used to train generative-AI systems or shared externally for model development. The platform is offered through API, macOS, web, and Windows, and its desktop app supports transcribers and court reporters. People requesting records through participating courts must create a free account using an email address. Pricing is available on request.
