FTR Justice Cloud
What it is
FTR Justice Cloud is a cloud platform for capturing, storing, reviewing, and managing court records. It records courtroom audio and video with multi-channel capture, and FTR RealTime provides live speech-to-text synchronized with courtroom audio, including speaker identification during overtalk. Judges, clerks, and attorneys can play back and annotate proceedings; courts can monitor recorders, manage requests for recordings and certified transcripts, and provide online ordering, status tracking, and secure delivery. Automatic hearing and case summaries surface developments, decisions, and upcoming actions. Recording can continue offline, with audio uploads and speech-to-text generation resuming when connectivity returns. The service supports existing courtroom hardware, legacy audio uploads, and API connections to case-management, evidence-management, and other systems. FTR says recordings and transcripts are not used to train generative-AI systems or shared externally for model development. The product page does not show a price; prospective customers can contact the maker or request a demo. People requesting records through participating courts need a free account with an email address.
