Title: Court Reporting Services Deposition & Transcription Services

Court Reporting Services Deposition
Transcription Services
  • California Deposition Reporters, Inc.

Stenographers
  • Court Reporting Services perform real-time
    transcribed speech in a legal or official
    setting. These professionals write at a speed of
    250 words per minute, so they must know the
    correct terminology and syntax. Those who take
    depositions may be referred to as stenographers.
    A deponent's image is displayed on the cover
    page. Using advanced technology, these
    professionals help clients save time and money by
    providing accurate and high-quality transcripts.

Court reporters transcribe real-time spoken words
in an official legal setting
  • These professionals transcribe spoken words in an
    official legal setting, such as a trial or
    deposition, in a fast, accurate manner. These
    professionals use special devices connected to a
    computer, which translate the spoken words into
    transcription. The transcripts are ready
    immediately and can include specific spacing,
    line numbers, time stamping, margins, and
    automatic punctuation. In addition to translating
    spoken words into written language, court
    reporters can also prepare captions and provide
    captions.

They write at a speed of around 250 words per
minute
  • A court reporter is required to be able to
    dictate at speeds of around 225 words per minute
    and to produce a transcript with an accuracy rate
    of 98.5 or better. Moreover, the job requires a
    person to be conversant with legal and medical
    terminology, anatomy vocabulary, and proper
    English grammar. This is because a court reporter
    is expected to blend in with different types of
    legal teams.
  • Stenographers write verbatim records by using a
    steno machine. They may work on live or recorded
    proceedings. Speed is of utmost importance as
    steno machines are designed to produce whole
    words and phrases in a single stroke. The speed
    required is largely dependent on the type of
    steno machine that the reporter uses.

5
They must understand terminology
  • In addition to excellent listening skills and
    spelling, Court Reporting Services must be
    familiar with legal terms and processes. While
    legal staff might know the basics of the law,
    they are not necessarily familiar with the
    details of your caseload. Court reporters are
    trained to respect the attorney-client privilege
    and can be trusted to protect the confidential
    information of the proceedings. As a result, they
    can provide timely and accurate transcripts.

6
They must grasp vocabulary
  • In order to become a successful court reporter,
    you must possess a strong grasp of legal
    terminology. While you don't need to be fluent in
    all languages, dialects, or sign languages to
    become an effective court reporter, it helps.
    Because you'll be relying on interpreters, it's
    essential to know at least some of their
    terminology. Luckily, there are many books to
    help you do this.

Court Reporting Services Offer Real-Time Reporting
  • Real-time reporting is a great benefit to any
    type of transcription. The advanced technology
    and real-time reporting capabilities of
    California Deposition Reporting make scheduling
    court reporters a breeze. To schedule a reporter,
    users simply need to upload their deposition
    notices and submit the required information. Once
    scheduled, a confirmation email will be sent to
    the user. You will need to provide this
    information in the scheduling process so that the
    court reporter can be informed of the assignment.

Work conditions for court reporters
  • Court reporters and deposition reporters
    transcribe speech and other types of audio into
    text. They use various methods of recording
    speech, including stenotype machines and
    electronic recording. Stenotype machines
    transcribe spoken word by key combinations. They
    are used in courtrooms to record fast-paced
    dialogue. These reporters may be required to
    create an online dictionary of words. They also
    have to keep track of specific terminology used
    during the hearings.

Skills required for court reporters
  • While a post-secondary education in stenography
    is required for a career as a court reporter or
    deposition reporter, some additional traits are
    important. Court reporters must have excellent
    listening and typing skills. They must arrive
    early at court hearings and set up their work
    areas the night before. They must adhere to
    confidentiality rules and be punctual. They must
    be able to keep up with the ever-changing
    technological standards of the field, as well as
    adhere to court-mandated continuing education
    requirements.

Cost of court reporter services
  • The cost of court reporter services and
    deposition reporters vary according to the type
    of transcript and the number of pages. Court
    reporters typically quote by the page and vary
    from 3.00 to 8.00 per page. These fees are
    based on the length of the transcript, the
    format, and the number of characters on a line. A
    court reporter should be able to accommodate a
    wide range of transcript formats. In addition,
    the cost of transcripts may be discounted
    depending on the agency.
