How court reporters use AI to polish realtime transcripts while preserving the certified record.
AI can fix obvious stenotype mis-strokes and speaker labels but the reporter certifies word-for-word fidelity.
Court reporters produce a certified, word-for-word record of legal proceedings — depositions, hearings, trials. That certification is a professional and legal commitment: the reporter attests that the transcript accurately represents what was said. In realtime proceedings, stenotype systems can produce rough output with known error patterns: brief conflicts (two strokes with the same dictionary match), proper noun misstrikes, speaker label errors when voices overlap, and inaudible passages. AI assistance in cleanup is legitimate and increasingly standard, but only within tightly defined bounds. The permissible AI role is correcting documented stenotype dictionary conflicts, suggesting speaker IDs from context, and flagging inaudible passages for explicit notation. What is never permissible is filling an inaudible passage with AI-generated content — even plausible content. If the audio was inaudible and the stenotype produced nothing reliable, the transcript must reflect that with the appropriate notation. An AI-generated fill that turns out to be incorrect is a certification breach and potentially grounds for a mistrial or sanctions. Certification breaches also follow a reporter professionally. The safest prompt discipline: restrict the model to substitutions that are traceable to documented dictionary entries, flag every suggested speaker label as suggested (not confirmed), and require explicit notation for every inaudible passage.
