Speech to text expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds and expertise in computer science, electrical engineering, software engineering, digital voice processing, voice identification, linguistics, and/or natural language processing. Cahn Litigation Services is frequently called upon by lawyer clients to locate an expert witness that can support speech to text matters, on behalf of either a plaintiff or defendant.

Speech to text is a type of speech recognition program that converts spoken to written language. Speech to text software “listens” to audio and strives to deliver an editable, verbatim transcript. There are several speech to text software programs commercially available.

Often, matters requiring speech to text expert witness services involve intellectual property, such as patent infringement litigation or trade secret disputes.

Litigation support by a speech to text expert witness could include computer software analysis, forensic analysis, deposition testimony, an expert report, expert opinion, and expert witness testimony in court. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a testifying expert with prior litigation experience. A speech to text expert needs to not only have substantive expertise but must also possess the ability to explain expert evidence to a juror and judge. In addition, clients often seek a speech to text expert for consultant work for pre-litigation tasks.
