A court reporter or stenographic reporter is a person whose occupation is to transcribe spoken or recorded speech into written form, typically using stenography equipment to produce official transcripts of court hearings, depositions and other official proceedings. Court reporters use either a stenomask or a shorthand system in order to keep up with the flow of speech so that they do not miss any words. The court reporter is often also a notary public who is authorized to administer oaths to witnesses, and who certifies that her or his transcript of the proceedings is a verbatim account of what was said.
It is used in courts, in classrooms, and for closed captioning on television.
Before they start to record, courtreporters may have to create and maintain their computer dictionary, which is used to translate what the reporter says or types into text format.
The number of courtreporters is expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2014.
