1. Experience

• Just like any other field, experience plays a
  vital role in reporting the hearing. An
  experienced court reporter knows which are the
  important things that need to be emphasized. The
  clarity in the reports and accuracy have very
  much to do with the experience of the
  professional.
• For many legal offices, courts, individuals and
  other associations finding the right professional
  is quite a headache, because they often ignore
  the experience of the service provider. They only
  look for the certification. Though certification
  is also important to check, it works better when
  you hire a certified reporter with good
  experience.

2. Education and certification

• As said above, a court reporter has to have
  proper education and certification of the law.
  Laws are different in every stage and
  professionals who have studied the law of the
  particular state can surely offer more accurate
  service.

3. Specialization

• Some of the court reporters are specialized in
  reporting particular types of cases. Their
  specialization matters most when the case is at
  the crucial stage. They are well aware of the
  proceedings and they can also predict the further
  process of the court, which enables them to bring
  accuracy in their reports.

4. Use of latest technology

• There are a number of cases where typed
  transcript does not work a document for
  settlement or present for a trial. It is often
  important to record the moods and reactions of
  witnesses during the hearing. Such factors play a
  vital role and cannot be avoided when the stakes
  are higher. Here, finding a company that can
  provide video conferencing to the clients so that
  nothing can be missed. The old-fashioned
  stenography might not work in all the cases and
  such tasks should be handled using the advanced
  technique. Such services are essential to cater
  to the clients' requirements with perfection.

5. Other services

• Today, professional court reporters are not
  limited to provide just one service like court
  reporting. They provide other related services
  that can be really helpful to clients. For
  example, when an attorney needs transcripts of
  proceedings on an urgent basis, not all the
  professionals are capable of catering to that
  requirement. Here, having a court reporter who
  can provide copies of the transcript as soon as
  possible can be a great help. You should also
  check the other services offered by the company.
