When a court reporter creates a text record of legal proceedings, they produce a transcript which must meet a high standard of accuracy and professionalism so as to be admissible in court. The manuscripts they create also serve as a reference for other industry experts, such as lawyers.

In their professional context, transcripts are literally the written words where legal decisions are made or, conversely, where those decisions can be overturned as a result of an expert witness’ testimony that something was said that did not make it into the transcript (verbatim). Getting it wrong can cost money, time and even lives if the wrongfully accused are acquitted on technicalities of improperly prepared transcripts.
