Benefits to Using a Stenographic Court Reporter
Quality: Stenographic writers are trained to be more accurate than typists. Even the best typist, while trained to type fast, is not trained to pick up all the nuances of a legal proceeding. Trained stenographic writers will make sure that a verbatim record is truly verbatim, picking up every false start and legal term.
Speed: A stenographic writer can write 2-3x faster than even the fastest typist, up to 225 words per minute and beyond. The benefits of this are obvious: Faster turnaround time and, in addition, the ability to transcribe in real time, enabling us to deliver daily transcripts.
Knowledge: A trained stenographic writer has gone through years of training to become a court reporter. In addition to learning the skill of machine shorthand, stenographic writers are also trained to produce a legal transcript. A typist simply does not possess this knowledge. Having a real court reporter producing your transcript ensures that your format specifications will be met to your complete satisfaction.
