Court Reporting Degree College Program

Court reporters transcribe spoken or recorded speech into written form, typically using a stenotype or a stenomask to produce transcripts of court depositions, hearings and other official proceedings. These shorthand systems allow the reporter to keep up with the flow of speech so that no words are missed. In some cases, the court reporter is often also a notary public who is authorized to administer oaths to witnesses, and who certifies that her or his transcript of the proceedings is a verbatim account of what was said. It typically takes 2-4 years to learn the basic skills to become a court reporter. Candidates usually attend specialized certificate, associates, or bachelors degree programs at accredited colleges or universities. Distance learning and online training courses are also available. After additional training and experience, most court reporters then move on to real-time reporting.
