Legal transcription = converting spoken legal proceedings (e.g., hearings, interviews, depositions) into written, court-ready transcripts. Legal translation = converting written legal documents (e.g., contracts, court filings) from one language into another with certification. Both are distinct services but often complement each other—transcription captures the spoken record, while translation enables cross-border legal use.
