court reporters
Courtroom stenography professionals
Court reporters are professionals who create verbatim transcripts of legal proceedings, depositions, and other official events.
They typically use stenotype machines—specialized keyboards that record phonetic shorthand at speaking speed.
The resulting transcript becomes the official record: The court reporter read back the witness's testimony.
Court reporters may also provide real-time captioning for the hearing-impaired.
