Top 5 Trends in Digital Court Reporting for 2024

In recent years,  the court reporting industry has seen lots of change, with advances in technology shaping where things are headed. Historically, the industry relied solely on court reporters and stenographers to keep records and transcriptions of important legal proceedings. However, qualified stenographers and court reporters are in sharp decline, with some states seeing as much as an 85% decrease in the number of trained stenographers in the last five years. Despite the lack of qualified professionals available, the need for accurate and speedy reporting hasn’t changed.

New technological developments have stepped in to bridge the gap. Learning how to leverage these emerging technologies will be the differentiating factor between court reporting agencies that maximize growth while maintaining accuracy (and human expertise!) and those who see their growth opportunities stagnate as human-only options dwindle.  

So, what should companies be doing now and how should they look ahead? We break down the top trends in digital court reporting in 2024 and beyond, including the rise of AI-powered speech-to-text and the embrace of remote court proceedings, in Rev's latest report.
