The Advantages of Stenographic Court Reporting and Realtime Over Digital Audio Recording/electronic
- Stenographic court reporters cover the cost of upgrades to new equipment and software in most jurisdictions. The costs of software and hardware updates are subsequently shifted onto the taxpayer when digital audio recording is used.
- A realtime stenographic court reporter can provide instantaneous “voice-to-text” transcription for any judge, attorney, juror, or witness.
- A realtime stenographic court reporter can also provide judge and all parties a daily record of the proceedings.
- Electronic recording and digital audio recording transcripts may have inaudible statements, tapes are easily lost or misplaced, the equipment may fail or a clerk forgets to turn it on.
- Studies conducted by Justice Served, and independent court management consulting company found that the cost of producing a transcript from a stenographic court reporter is less than the cost of producing a transcript from a digital audio recording.
- Jurisdictions in New Mexico, New Jersey, and Texas, as well as others, have seen a return to a stenographic court reporter due to failures in their audio recording systems.

—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
—Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“Too many photographers try too hard. They try to lift photography into the realm of Art, because they have an inferiority complex about their Craft. You and I would see more interesting photography if they would stop worrying, and instead, apply horse-sense to the problem of recording the look and feel of their own era.”
