Tyler Technologies, one of the largest gov tech companies, has a vast portfolio of technology, including a Courts and Justice suite. For the Record focuses specifically on the audio portion of court proceedings, with solutions including AI-powered transcriptions.
The acquisition, then, will not just give Tyler access to the transcription capabilities, but allow for more seamless integration of those transcripts into case files — “judicial intelligence,” as a press release from Tyler calls it.
“The unprecedented visibility and productivity this allows for goes beyond simple recording and transcription; connecting the digital record to the case file in near real-time heightens awareness for all stakeholders and allows court staff to focus on high-value work to increase courtroom efficiency,” the statement reads.
For the Record, founded in 1993, works with courts in all 50 states, including some of the largest in the U.S., such as the Superior Court of Los Angeles County and the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County. The company has offices in Phoenix, Boston and Australia.
Tyler’s headquarters are in Plano, Texas, and it has customers in more than 15,000 locations.
“For 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,” For the Record CEO Tony Douglass said in the statement. “By becoming a part of Tyler, we will combine a leading recording solution for courtrooms with Tyler’s complementary technologies in the courts and justice space to deliver truly comprehensive solutions that benefit the industry.”
Tyler expects the deal to close in the first quarter of 2026.
