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

line numbers, time stamping, margins, and
automatic punctuation. In addition to translating

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

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.

- In addition to excellent listening skills and
spelling, Court Reporting Services must be
familiar with legal terms and processes. While

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.

essential to know at least some of their
terminology. Luckily, there are many books to
help you do this.
