Our 30-year business history has been built on the stenographic method of court reporting. Pioneering contributions to the development of Computer Assisted Transcription in the mid to late 1970s expanded our foundation and propelled our growth. Today we enjoy a nationwide reputation for court reporting excellence.
We are recognized as a leader in the art of instantaneous (Realtime) transcription. Competent Realtime Court Reporters study for years to not only perfect their art, but to learn how to effectively use the technology that delivers their product to you. There are relatively few competent Realtime Court Reporters and they are in high demand. Professional standards require that a Realtime Court Reporter deliver a Realtime transcript with an average of one transcription error per transcript page, or with 99% accuracy and higher. This assumes that the proceeding being reported in Realtime is controlled for pace. It also assumes that the court reporter has been provided in advance a glossary of case-specific terminology. When you need instant access to the record, either on-site or over the Internet, call any of our phone numbers and ask to schedule a Realtime court reporter.
Instant access is the key feature of Realtime and its corresponding services. Consider the use of these Realtime add-ons:
Rough draft is the next most effective means of rapid transcript review if Realtime transcription is not required or available. With appropriate notice, a court reporter will be assigned to provide you with a draft of the transcript of a proceeding immediately or within 12 hours. Drafts can be delivered via diskette, CD, DVD, or e-mail.
Imagine that you are traveling for weeks, taking depositions in various parts of the country or the world. You are taking depositions in a document-intense case. You need to review the testimony of prior witnesses, which you have on your computer; however, the deposition exhibits are not available to you. In these cases, it would be impractical to carry the documents with you. Have you ever read a document on the internet and noticed some of the text is colorized . . . usually blue? You click on the colorized text and it takes you into another document. That, briefly, is what Automatic Exhibit Linking will do for you. We will hypertext link and embed the exhibits into the transcript for easy reference. Give us a call. Let us show you how easy and inexpensive it really is.
This sophisticated new service combines electronic digital audio with a Digital Court Reporter. Combining the best in digital technology with a skilled professional reporter ensures that your record will be fully and accurately preserved.
Whether you require a simple one-camera analog shoot or a multi-camera digital production with masterful editing, we offer current video technology, including video-to-text synchronization and video/audio transcription.
Many years ago, we recognized that responsiveness is most important to you. We immediately established “responsiveness” as our company brand. Whatever you need, whenever you need it, we are prepared to deliver any number of transcript options: condensed transcript formats; word index; ASCII, PDF, or Word transcript formats; and premium e-transcript.

We have developed a powerful network of customer care-conscious affiliates, nationwide and internationally, to assist our clients when they require court reporters in distant locations. When you ask us for help, we don’t just make a call. Rather, we acquire specific information from you and use that information to establish job-specific specifications. Only then do we call our friends in the city to which you are traveling and order a specific level of talent to match the requirements of the assignment. We prepare and send case-specific information, including format, delivery particulars, and a word list (if one is available) to your court reporter. We offer peace of mind service not only at home, but also when you must travel. This is one of the reasons we accepted an invitation to join DepoSpan, a prestigious court reporting network of like-minded firm owners whose sole interest for the past 25 years has been to take care of their traveling clients.
