About ForTheRecord (.TRM files)

ForTheRecord (FTR) is a proprietary digital audio recording system used in courtrooms across the United States and abroad. Recordings are stored in the .TRM format, which requires specialized Windows-only software to play — software that is no longer freely accessible and has no Mac version.

This converter transforms .TRM files into standard MP3 audio that can be played on any device, making court recordings accessible to attorneys, litigants, journalists, and researchers without specialized software.
