In the field of court reporting, a stenographer has to be 99% accurate. That being said a lot of stress and anxiety is attached to the job, as you can imagine. It’s things like costly mistakes that disallow the court to do justice the way it’s intended. Nonetheless, here are a few tips from our senior staffers that will help explain why these are truly blunders.

Faulty Equipment: We never want to think of equipment being at fault but does it happen? An undeniably, YES! If a reporter notices it while he/she is taking dictation, they must let an authority know right away. Another piece of equipment may need to be used to continue. Just be sure the documents are obtained from both devices. A good reporter will often times bring a backup unit to be sure there are no issues.

Computer Failure: A transcriptionist or court reporter may continue to work after hours in their homes or they may return to an office like ours when they aren’t in session. Whatever the case may be, they are liable for the documents. In a situation such as a black-out or more commonly a computer failure, such as hacking, it can be devastating to recover data. This may result in a second day of recording the testimony. A good reporter takes every precaution necessary, like backing up files and working on secure systems, but these things do happen.

Typing the wrong words: This is an ugly blunder and happens from time to time. A reporter who types Do instead of Doesn’t can be severely reprimanded. This can cause a bottle-neck in the system that we all don’t need. These types of errors are really tough to deal with. Make sure that you ask the reporter to repeat what they’ve recorded if you’re in doubt. Especially if there is a lot of noise or any distractions taking place. Counsel is equally responsible to get a clean recording and should help the reporter when in need. This will save everyone time and money and will eliminate some stress from a case.

Know your timing schedules for changes to be made: Read the transcripts right away and if you notice that it doesn’t look right, contact us immediately. There are local rules that are made by the courts prohibiting changes to a document after a certain time frame.

Personal Not Professional: Bringing personal problems into work is frowned upon by most companies. This stands to be true with court reporting as well. It’s a professional environment and therefore we believe personal problems and issues are left on the outside of the courtroom. Their personal and professional growth should always be in the forefront of their futures. Personal growth includes, accomplishment, goal setting and anything that a true master of their craft would adhere to.
