Transcription Management


The Problem Qualified court reporters and transcriptionists are becoming more and more difficult to find. The number of stenographic court reporters has been declining for decades and in parts of the country have become impossible to hire. The number of trained digital reporters and transcribers has not kept pace with the increased demand as more and more courts transition to digital recording. And COVID simply made the situation worse with increased retirements and increased caseloads as courts have begun clearing the COVID backlog. Non-appeal, private transcript demand can be pushed off to the private market, but your court must provide for transcription of appeal transcript in this stressful environment. And, if you are like many courts that have transitioned to digital recording over the last few years, you are coming out of a model where official stenographic reporters managed the entire transcription business. Very often these reporters, stenographic and digital, resisted the court’s oversite of this critical court function. A court function that involves tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars of yearly spend. With no visibility into historical data, courts across the country must now grab control of the transcription process. Transcript production is the single biggest cause of delay in the appellate process. Without data, there is no way to fix the problem.
