Default Engineer for speech recognition / cleanup

I am looking for an audio engineer to deal with some recordings of

make them clearer for others to listen to.

Where would I find a suitable person, preferably someone reputable /
qualified, preferably in the USA, is there an industry association
which I could approach to find someone? The results might be brought
to the attention of a lawyer, hence someone who has done such work
before would be best.


AES Forensic Audio subcommittee can recommend someone.
On the west coast, try Wes Dooley in LA. He knows all the forensic
guys and can point you in the right direction.

For the purposes of a Google or other search, this is called 'forensic audio',
and there are a number of specialists in this field.

Lot's of people will tell you that they can satisfy your needs, and many can
probably make a worthy and respectable effort that will provide satisfactory
results... however, if you're looking for the sort of experience that might
involve the legal system, then you are also looking for what's known as
an 'expert witness' in the field of audio.

I could do it for you . . . for probably a better price than anyone in
the US (I'm British, but live in a 3rd world country, where the cost of
living is so low that I can beat anyone's prices for top quality
work!).

But can you appear in court and testify as to the scientific accuracy of
your methods and your analysis of the backgrounds that were removed,
and fully convince a judge, using prior case law, that the physics and the
implementation of the methods you used were acceptable as evidence?

There's a catch to the OP's question. ;-)
