The feasibility and timing depend on sound quality, duration, the number of speakers, interference and the languages spoken. Transcription establishes the spoken content; translation renders that content in the target language. These are distinct parts of the assignment and are agreed according to its purpose.

Can recordings be translated for criminal proceedings?
Yes. Audio, video and voice messages may be supplied as material for court, police and prosecution matters.
