How much do court reporters charge? Law firms can view the database and compare rates, certifications, years of experience, and 5-star reviews by attorneys and paralegals. Vetted stenographers, voice writers, and legal videographers in just a few clicks. #law #litigation #attorneys #paralegals

Law firms try every shiny object for depositions: AI transcription, auto-recorders. Then they quietly go back to the certified stenographer. Some things don’t need reinventing. Accuracy matters.

Huge thanks to the Wisconsin Court Reporters Association (WCRA) and the Minnesota Association of Verbatim Reporters & Captioners (MAVRC) for putting together such a wonderful joint gathering. Altoona and the Chippewa Valley have been the perfect backdrop. Proud to be part of this community. #CourtReporting #Captioning #WCRA #MAVRC #AltoonaWI #CourtReporters #CEUs #Wisconsin #Minnesota

Two days of learning, laughing, and lifting each other up at the joint Wisconsin & Minnesota Court Reporters Convention in beautiful Altoona. Grateful for this community and the energy we create when we come together. ✨

Law firms have adopted powerful software tools that can ingest deposition transcripts, highlight key admissions, extract contradictions, generate issue-coded summaries, and even draft outlines for trial. These tools promise efficiency and better organization. Yet one critical element in the end-to-end process is frequently underappreciated: the certified court reporter who creates the official record. Without an accurate, certified transcript, even the most sophisticated summarization software produces unreliable output⚖️

Discovery requires more time than almost any other part of a case. Software can now summarize depositions, flag admissions, and build trial outlines in a fraction of the time. But those tools are only as good as the transcript they are provided. A single misheard term or speaker error gets amplified the moment AI starts summarizing. The certified court reporter is the critical link between live testimony and a summary you can trust. Technology makes the work faster. The official record is what makes it reliable.

Avoid your case going to the Supreme Court: certified court reporters are the answer. 25-0463 In re Hughey youtu.be/M0pc_Szbm5Y?si=DM7p… via @YouTube
