This article uses the term "court reporter" which in the US may actually refer to a court's stenographer, which does not appear to be the same thing this article is talking about.
- ghaff 2y agoYeah, I would have taken this to mean the court stenographer absent reading further. This is really just a story about a broader lack of local news reporting because no one wants to pay for it in general. My small town had a rather good local newspaper back in the day (which I subscribed to) but it was a labor of love and the publisher became ill so now there's nothing unless it's sufficient news that it hits the big city paper about 50 miles away or at least some regional website.
- JohnMakin 2y agoThanks for further clarification - I got downvoted initially, was a bit confusing, and I only made this parent comment because after reading the title I was hoping it would be about the impact of improvements to voice-to-text technology has had on the profession of court stenographers (the ones typing on those weird machines that look like they're straight out of the 80's). This was also an interesting read though.
- ghaff 2y agoThat would have been my assumption as well just reading the headline. To which my reaction would have been "Good enough for government work" for a court proceeding?
