What is digital court reporting?

Career: Digital Court Reporter

Digital court reporting captures court proceedings with video and audio equipment. In the past, a stenographer transcribed court proceedings using a stenotype machine. But with advances in technology, court reporters now use digital devices to capture court proceedings. According to the American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers (AAERT), digital court reporting is more expedient and cost-effective than traditional court reporting with a stenographer. Digital court reporting is also more profitable, generating money through the sale of court proceeding videos.
