Beneficial for You?

• Regardless of whether it is for a courtroom
  proceeding, for different legal and political
  activities, or even for captioning services, you
  definitely need someone to take down very
  important details. From the words that are spoken
  loud and clear to the slightest and finest mumble
  of syllables, it is always better to catch
  everything as precisely as possible especially
  when it comes to legal matters. But it's not
  always about how we need these important details
  to be taken down. It is also about how well, fast
  and accurate it can be done and how it needs to
  be kept for a later important purpose. If you are
  thinking of a transcriptionist, that's great! But
  allow us to suggest a better one - a certified
  court reporter!

• A court reporter or a court stenographer, from
  the name itself, is the perfect person you need
  to get for legal purposes. They basically record
  the exact words that are being said in trials or
  in meetings, with the help of a stenograph
  machine. They also use other tools that help them
  transcribe what they hear during court
  proceedings. Other famous court reporters can
  also do captioning services for the deaf and for
  those who have hearing problems, and they also
  offer the same services for broadcast companies.
• In this article, you will learn more about what
  benefits you can enjoy if you hire a court
  reporter or a court reporting service.

They do the job you need

• A court reporter, unlike most transcriptionists,
  is mainly assigned to take down every word being
  said during depositions, court trials, government
  meetings, or other similar events that require
  sufficient knowledge of legal, and even medical
  terminologies. Court reporters are also good at
  keeping records of transcripts and they can use
  different tools to help them do their jobs well.
• Though transcriptionists can cover legal
  proceedings, they can as well be considered as a
  general service provider as they offer
  transcription services in different fields and
  not just in the legal industry. If you want
  someone who is more proficient and knowledgeable
  about legal matters, a court reporter is your
  best bet. Court reporters for legal matters are
  specifically trained and they themselves are
  confident of what they are doing. Needless to
  say, hiring a court reporter is a win-win
  situation for both of you.

They do what they are expected to do

• In a digital age like today, there are a lot of
  attempts to use and integrate technology when
  keeping records of any legal proceedings and
  attempt to replace the court reporters in Georgia
  with devices that can turn audio recordings to
  text. But still, nothing beats the accuracy of a
  court stenographer.
• Being trained mainly for this purpose allows them
  to take down and record information effectively
  and allows a smooth flow during trials. These
  technological devices might require some time to
  publish texts from the recorded audio clip, while
  a court reporter can send you drafts of the
  transcripts immediately after the proceedings.
  Now, that's what you call doing the 'real' thing.

They are trained to do the real thing

• Speaking of the 'real' thing, court reporters
  undergo intense training before being called one.
  Being a court reporter requires you to finish a
  two-year associate's degree and acquire a
  Certificate in Court Reporting. Unfortunately,
  only a small percentage of these court reporting
  students actually get to become a certified court
  reporter. It is believed that this is because of
  the challenging minimum rate of 225 words per
  minute transcription rate which was set by the
  National Court Reporter's Association (NCRA) in
  the United States. (Some can even reach around
  300 words per minute!)

• Alongside the training for transcribing multiple
  conversations into a record, they also have to
  learn the complex law and even medical terms.
  They are also taught and trained about how they
  can still effectively put everything said by the
  speaker inside the courtroom into record despite
  all the nuances and noise around.
• Court reporters are also aware of the complex
  judicial and court protocols as well as the
  political and justice systems. Unlike an
  automated record machine, court reporters can
  interrupt and ask the court to let people talk
  one person at a time when they need to. That
  makes them far better than an audio recording
  device.

They save you money in the long run and make your
life easier

• Yes, court reporters are a bit pricey, that is
  why people find it easier to drop the idea of
  hiring one. But do you know that they actually
  save you time and money in the long run?
• There are times when transcripts of past
  testimonies are needed in certain court
  proceedings. And not having a professional court
  reporter to record these testimonies could cost
  you more than money itself. Not only will it be
  more difficult for you to prove your case, but
  also the proceeding may take longer than
  expected, and worst, you may not be able to go
  outside the courtroom smiling and relieved (as
  you just lost to your opponent).
