What's So Great About E-Reporting?


E-Reporting is court reporting utilizing audio recording and digital devices with cassette tapes and/or digital CD's as a means of registering the proceeding. It has been used successfully in the federal court system for more than thirty-five years. The system consists of two elements; the first is the E-Reporter monitoring the recording equipment and the second is the recording equipment itself. Because the proceeding is recorded, there is no interpretation or selective editing issue. E-Reporting is the only form of court reporting that is 100% verifiable.

Features Include : Live Electronic Reporters monitoring the reporting and making annotation notes. Speaker Isolation is obtained by recording each person on different channels. Analog Tape Overlap so there is no interruption during the proceeding. Digital Recordings are achievable to computer hard drives, CDs, DVD, Memory Sticks, and other media. Instantaneous playbacks. Speaker overlaps, which do not impede accurate transcription. Recording of translators and interpreters as well as English portion for accuracy. Verbatim Transcription that can be compared to the audio recording for 100% verifiability.
