A court reporter, stenotype reporter, voice writer, stenomask writer, digital reporter, shorthand reporter,[1] or transcriber is a person whose occupation is to transcribe spoken or recorded speech into written form, typically using machine shorthand or a voice silencer and digital recorder to produce official transcripts of court hearings, depositions and other official proceedings. There are three major methods of live person court reporting: digitally recorded, machine shorthand, and voice writing. Machine shorthand allows the stenotype reporter to keep up with the flow of speech so that no words are missed. The voice writer, on the other hand, repeats verbatim what attorneys, witnesses, and others are saying in a proceeding. Digitally recorded proceedings provide the ability to verify the written record as verbatim.
