Shorthand Reporter

If you’ve ever been to a courtroom during a trial, or watch a TV show or movie depicting a courtroom proceeding, then you’ve probably noticed a court reporter. court reporters are the people who you see sitting off to the side of courtroom, typing away at a rapid pace. If you’ve ever wondered what exactly the court reporter’s job is, then read on.

In short, the court reporter’s job is to record every word that is spoken in court proceedings. This can include actual trials and hearings as well as depositions and other out of court proceedings. As you might imagine, it requires a tremendous amount of focus, speed and accuracy to be a court reporter. It also requires an impressive level of mastery of the English language. With people in trials sometimes talking very rapidly or talking over each other, the job can get very hectic.

The method most are familiar with involves using a sort of typewriter called a stenotype machine. Although it may look like a court reporter is typing on a normal keyboard, stenotype machines are actually very different. Instead of using individual letters, they combine letters into “chords” that are used in a special type of shorthand. It requires a great deal of training to learn stenotype, but once it is learned it’s possible to type at speeds upwards of 250 words per minute. Currently, the world record for fastest typing stands at a staggering 350 words per minute.

Court reporters may play other roles during a courtroom proceeding, as well. For example, they might do research regarding items entered into the court record or aid in other ways. In addition to courtroom work, some court reporters take on other tasks as well. The same types of technology are used for closed captioning of live television, for example. A court reporter may also help provide transcriptions for church services, public events, seminars, and other events.

The advent of court reporting has proven extremely useful to the judiciary system. With a skilled court reporter at a court hearing, no word or gesture need ever be missed. The transcripts recorded by court recorders have proven invaluable to judges and attorneys alike, allowing them essentially relive the trial as it happened to better their understanding of it.
