COURT REPORTER

Description

Court reporters participate in judicial proceedings and at meetings where the spoken word must be preserved in written transcript. Use verbatim methods and equipment to capture, store, retrieve, and transcribe pretrial and trial proceedings or other information. Create verbatim transcripts of speeches, conversations, legal proceedings, meetings, and other events when written accounts of spoken words are necessary for correspondence, records, or legal proof, ensuring a complete, accurate, and secure legal record. Court reporters work in a variety of settings, such as attorney's offices, meetings, conventions, and government agencies at all levels from federal to state and local government bodies. Includes stenocaptioners who operate computerized stenographic captioning equipment to provide captions of live or prerecorded broadcasts for hearing-impaired viewers.
