There is a critical shortage of stenographic court reporters across the nation. Although the use of digital court reporting has been around for decades, advancements in technology now allow us to capture depositions in this manner. With fewer stenographic professionals entering the field each year than are required for the demand of proceedings, the court reporting industry is implementing these advanced digital technologies to ensure that all proceedings continue to take place in a timely manner.

Digital court reporters use state-of-the-art recording equipment to record proceedings, with no fewer than two (2) audio backups, a laptop, audio mixer, and software to identify speakers and keep relevant notes. Not only do digital court reporters continually monitor the volume and quality of the audio, they also take extensive simultaneous notes which are time-linked to the audio, allowing for quick and easy access for “readbacks,” or playbacks. Many Planet Depos reporters hold one or more of the following certifications:

• Certified Electronic Court Reporter
• Certified Electronic Transcriber
