The big idea
AI transcription is everywhere now, but courts still demand certified human reporters because the legal stakes are too high for AI mistakes.
Some examples
- Court reporters earn $60K-$120K with no four-year degree.
- Stenography schools take about 2-3 years to finish.
- One AI transcription error in a deposition can blow a case.
- Many reporters now do realtime captioning for accessibility.
