Discover Court Reporting at WESTEC
Court reporters, or shorthand reporters, use stenotype machines to capture a word-for-word record of legal proceedings, including trials, depositions, hearings, and meetings. These notes are then converted into precise transcripts.
They may work in courtrooms handling civil and criminal cases, or as freelance reporters covering depositions, arbitrations, and business events.
With the use of computer-aided transcription (CAT) technology, steno notes can now be translated into text almost instantly, providing fast, reliable support to courts and legal professionals
