German depositions and legal proceedings, transcribed properly
German (Deutsch): Standard German plus Austrian and Swiss Standard German; strong on long compound nouns. Compounds like Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung come through as single words, capitalized correctly. Swiss German dialect (Schwiizerdütsch) is harder than Standard German — expect to review those recordings.
Depositions in particular: Speaker separation keeps examiner and deponent apart, and timestamps let you cite to the minute. A working draft for review and exhibit prep — not a certified transcript, but ready hours earlier.
