Court reporters, also known as stenographers, are professionals who specialize in transcribing spoken words into written form. They are often found in courtrooms, where they record the proceedings of a trial or hearing. They also work in other settings, such as medical offices, conferences, and meetings. Court reporters use specialized equipment to capture the spoken words, which they then transcribe into written documents. These documents can be used as evidence in legal proceedings or for other purposes. Court reporters must have excellent listening skills, accuracy, and speed in order to accurately capture and transcribe spoken words.
