What is the future for Court Reporters who use voice-recognition software?
As you read this, RealTime reporting for Voice Reporters is now a reality. Voice Reporters can take dictation on their laptops. The spoken words appear on the computer screen. At the end of a given proceeding, the Voice Reporter can give everyone present a disk containing the rough draft. When time permits, you can proof the computer’s recognition version of what you dictated and then print it. This speech recognition, RealTime capability enhances the Voice Reporter’s transcribing ability. No more keyboarding! No more word processing input! The ease of learning provided with NESCR’s training programs and the ease of transcription with RealTime capabilities may render other methods of reporter takedown obsolete.
