We understand the importance of quality transcription in legal proceedings.  Our court reporters protect the integrity of every record they transcribe, and remain impartial and independent throughout the duration of the proceedings.  Our court reporters ensure the highest quality, verbatim transcripts and adhere to the highest professional standards and best practices.

Due to technological advances, speech-to-text software may be seen as a replacement for court reporting and may seem to be a logical replacement for human transcription services.  However, a machine cannot determine subtle nuances of speech, and often has difficulty picking up spoken word over shuffling of paper and other noises.  In addition, lawyers or clerks may forget to hit the record button, and a live court reporter can ask witnesses to repeat testimony if they are not speaking clearly or loudly enough.  Correct spelling of names is also an important consideration.  In addition, court reporters adhere to a code of ethics and must pass an exam to ensure the highest quality transcription services are provided.

Transcripts are an official record of what was spoken during the examination and are filed for future use.  There is no room for error – reporters must be both fast and accurate.  The presence of a court reporter also ensures that all involved in the legal proceeding are conscious of the words they speak, and are being held accountable for what they say.
