My overall experience is the program works well and allows me to complete my daily tasks of transcribing court proceedings.

Pros

FTR is a free download. The program is easy to use with a foot pedal, which makes transcribing hassle-free. It provides real-time access to court data for management and records.

Cons

There should be an option to cancel background noises.

This software is easy to use, and it is free to download. I used it with a foot pedal, which is easy to set up and allows me to fast forward and go backwards to listen to the audio as needed.

Pros

What I like best in the FTR is that I can manipulate the channels to hear each speaker clearly, especially when there is cross-talk. As well, it is useful when the audio is not clear on a channel and you need to listen to that part of the audio when transcribing. The playback allows me to speed up the audio if a speaker is talking slowly and slow down the audio if a speaker is talking too fast.

Cons

This software does not reduce or cancel background noises in the audio or static, which can be harsh on your ears.
