Digital recording fees. [Effective March 30, 2026]

(a) Digital Recording Fee. The fee for a copy of the digital recording of any chancery court proceeding shall be $30.00 per proceeding, with “proceeding” meaning each hearing, argument, conference, session, or trial scheduled by the chancery court under a single docket number. (b) Automated Speech-to-Text Output. If an automated speech-to-text output is available, it may also be provided at a rate of $1.50 per minute of recorded content, in addition to the $30.00 audio fee. If provided, such automated output is unedited, uncertified, and may contain errors or omissions. It is provided solely for the convenience of the parties and does not constitute an official transcript or any part of the official record. (c) Use of Fees to Support Access. To facilitate prompt and convenient access to proceedings consistent with the chancery court’s expedited nature, a portion of the fees collected under this rule may be used to compensate a vendor that provides digital recording tools, advanced speech-to-text technology, secure cloud-based storage, and online ordering of and access to recordings and speech-to-text outputs.
