What are the Job Duties of a Court Reporter?

Answer:
The job duties of a court reporter revolve around keeping accurate, official records of court proceedings and governmental meetings
Court reporters sit near the center of the proceedings to ensure that they don't miss any words that are spoken.  Court reporters can record the proceedings in a variety of ways, from using an old-fashioned stenography machine to voice recognition software.


Court transcripts are legal documents, which are filed and can be checked in case of a problem with a proceeding.  In many jurisdictions, a court reporter is often a sworn in court officer.  Court reporters can either work for a specific company or court or they can freelance, contracting out with courts or companies in different locations.  They must be accurate and able to perform quickly and under pressure.
