Title: Why Hiring A Certified Court Reporter is Beneficial for You?
1Why Hiring A Certified Court Reporter is
Beneficial for You?

2- 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!

4- 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.
5They 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.
6They 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.

8They 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!)
9- 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.
10They 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).
