verbatim et literatim
The Authorized Court Transcriptionist Association of Ontario (ACTAO) is an association of court transcriptionists who are authorized by the Ministry of the Attorney General to produce certified transcripts of Ontario court proceedings, bringing their specialized skill of verbatim transcription to the judicial system. 

The association was newly founded in 2018.

We facilitate a mentoring program where newly authorized transcriptionists are matched with experienced transcriptionists who will provide quality mentoring and support.  We are planning workshops for our members including an annual Authorized Court Transcriptionist Association of Ontario Conference.

Members of the Authorized Court Transcriptionist Association of Ontario (ACTAO) maintain and guard the integrity of the court record.
