Plano-based public sector software and tech services provider Tyler Technologies has agreed to acquire Phoenix-based For The Record, a digital court-recording pioneer, for around $212.5 million in cash. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

In an industry facing a declining number of court reporters, For The Record\u2019s SaaS solutions offer \u201csophisticated, secure, and accurate digital recordings\u201d that solve operational challenges and industry demands in all 50 U.S. states and around the world, Tyler said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTyler and For The Record share a deep understanding of complex judicial workflows and the immense potential of responsible AI,\u201d Brian McGrath, president of Tyler\u2019s Courts & Justice Division, said in a statement. \u201cThis acquisition creates a powerful synergy between the digital record and the case file.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cResponsible technology has always been required to support the judiciary, and it\u2019s a core competency of Tyler,\u201d he added. \u201cBringing For The Record onboard accelerates our ability to innovate with next-generation technologies. Ultimately, this empowers us to deliver a new level of resources and insight to the justice system for the benefit of our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

For The Record has developed its platform to deliver \u201clegal grade\u201d speech-to-text and real-time, multilingual transcription technology powered by artificial intelligence. Its proprietary, cloud-enabled software is designed for the complexities of today\u2019s courtrooms, the companies said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor The Record and Tyler Technologies have a shared mission of improving access to justice through transformative technology, creating a seamless courtroom ecosystem for judges, clerks, and attorneys,\u201d said Tony Douglass, CEO of For The Record. \u201cBy becoming a part of Tyler, we will combine a leading recording solution for courtrooms with Tyler\u2019s complementary technologies in the courts and justice space to deliver truly comprehensive solutions that benefit the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

A new category of \u2018judicial intelligence\u2019<\/p>\n

Incorporating For The Record\u2019s solutions into Tyler\u2019s Justice portfolio will create a definitive and complete court record, bringing previously fragmented data for the benefit of clients. By using AI to bridge the data courtrooms generate every day with the digital case file and accelerating data-driven tasks, these solutions offer a new category of \u201cjudicial intelligence,\u201d the companies said.<\/p>\n

Allowing for \u201cunprecedented visibility and productivity\u201d beyond simple recording and transcription, the solutions connect the digital record to the case file in near real-time, enhancing awareness for all stakeholders and allowing court staff to focus on high-value work to increase courtroom efficiency, Tyler said.<\/p>\n

For The Record\u2019s solutions record, securely store, and manage access to hundreds of thousands of hours of court proceedings in all 50 U.S. states, including the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, King County Superior Court in Washington, Trial Courts of Massachusetts, and the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1993, For The Record is headquartered in Phoenix, with additional offices in Boston and Brisbane, Queensland (Australia). The management and staff of For The Record will become part of Tyler\u2019s Courts & Justice Division after closing.<\/p>\n
