Litigation Support is a highly competitive industry, and Dallas court reporters who want to retain their existing clients - and develop new ones - really need to keep up with technology and advanced litigation services. Among the most useful tools available to attorneys these days are realtime court reporting services. Quickly becoming the standard, realtime court reporting is the process where a court reporters transcript is converted into text form as it is being typed. The court reporter's stenotype machine is directly connected to a computer, which allows for a nearly instantaneous translation from spoken testimony or depositions to an organized and searchable text document on the attorney's laptop computer or other mobile device.
