WHAT A COURT STENOGRAPHER CAN DO FOR YOU

  THE HUMAN TOUCH:

      The recording of human speech has always been challenging. Although technology has made it more efficient to record human speech, it lacks a critical factor: the human touch. Speech is like a fingerprint, each person’s accent, cadence, pitch and understanding of language makes it unique. The court stenographer provides an accurate verbatim transcript of a proceeding by combining skill in the art of machine shorthand with a keen knowledge of human communication.

      One of the main benefits of having a verbatim court stenographer present is elimination of lost testimony due to electronic recording failures and errors caused by transcribers who are not present during the proceeding. A professional court stenographer using the latest technology will provide the following:

 

DURING THE PROCEEDING:

- Administration of the oath.
- Creation of an accurate verbatim transcript.
- Identification of speakers.
- Marking and identification of exhibits
- Realtime translation of the transcript during the proceeding upon request.
- Read back of testimony during the proceeding upon request.

           

FOLLOWING THE PROCEEDING:

Timely delivery of the transcript in many formats:

- Full-sized paper transcript.
- Condensed transcript with word index.
- ASCII disk of transcript.
- Electronic e-Transcript, indexed and searchable, linked to video on request.
- Scanned, searchable exhibits linked to electronic transcript.

      Outside of the legal setting, court stenographers provide captions for the hard of hearing and hearing impaired.  We record depositions, trials, arbitrations, meetings, hearings and broadcast programming on television, radio and internet.
