BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF COMPUTER AIDED TRANSCRIPTION AS A METHOD OF COURT REPORTING.
Abstract
IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE FEASIBILITY OF COMPUTER ASSISTED TRANSCRIPTION HAS BEEN PROVED BOTH IN THEORY AND PRACTICE. THE COURT REPORTER WHO IS INTERESTED IN USING A COMPUTER TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE MUST BE A MACHINE SHORTHAND REPORTER. A COMPUTER CANNOT TRANSLATE MANUAL SHORTHAND. THE FIRST STEP FOR THE REPORTER IS TO PURCHASE A MODIFIED STENOTYPE MACHINE TO WHICH HAS BEEN ADDED AN ELECTRONICS PACKAGE CONNECTED TO A MAGNETIC TAPE RECORDER WHICH RECORDS STENOTYPE IMPRINTS IN DIGITAL CODE. SUGGESTIONS ARE OFFERED ON TUNING, TRAINING, EDITING FIRST RUN TRANSCRIPTS, AND SERVICE OPTIONS.
