About the Hawaiʻi Board of Certified Shorthand Reporters
A Hawaii Certified Shorthand Reporter, also known as a court stenographer, is responsible for creating verbatim transcripts of legal proceedings, such as trials, hearings, and depositions. Using a stenograph machine, they capture spoken dialogue quickly and accurately, ensuring that all statements, evidence, and testimonies are recorded.
In addition to transcribing, shorthand reporters may also provide real-time translation services, allowing lawyers and judges to see the text as it is being spoken. They are also responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the transcripts and may provide certified copies for legal purposes. Their work is crucial in ensuring a clear and accurate record of court proceedings.
