Court Reporting Techniques and Technologies

We pride ourselves on staying up-to-date with the latest court reporting techniques and technologies. Our team of highly skilled court reporters is trained in various methods of reporting to ensure that we provide our clients with the most accurate and reliable verbatim records.

Stenographic Reporting and Real-Time Reporting

Stenographic reporting is a technique used by court reporters to capture the spoken word in real-time using a stenotype machine. This machine allows the court reporter to write in shorthand, which is then translated into English using specialized software. Real-time reporting is a technique that allows the court reporter to display the written translation of the shorthand in real-time on a computer screen. This technique is especially useful in situations where immediate access to the verbatim record is necessary.

At National Court Reporters, we have experienced stenographic reporters who are proficient in real-time reporting. Our team of reporters is equipped with state-of-the-art stenotype machines and software that enable us to provide our clients with accurate and timely transcripts.

Transcription and Proofreading Skills

Transcription and proofreading are critical skills that every court reporter must possess. After the stenographic report is translated into English, it is the court reporter’s responsibility to proofread the transcript for accuracy, grammar, spelling, and technical terminology. At National Court Reporters, we have a team of experienced proofreaders who work closely with our court reporters to ensure that our transcripts are error-free and meet the highest standards of quality.

Our proofreaders are skilled grammarians, spellers, and vocabulary experts who are trained to identify and correct errors in technical terminology. We use specialized software to ensure that our transcripts are consistent in format and style, making them easy to read and understand.
