Top Certified Shorthand Reporters

A certified shorthand reporter, or CSR, is a licensed court reporter who records testimony word for word with a stenotype machine and produces the certified transcript. Law firms, insurers, corporate legal teams and government agencies book them for depositions, arbitrations, hearings and examinations under oath, where an accurate, certified record is required.

When comparing certified shorthand reporters here, check licensing in the state where the testimony is taken, realtime and remote capabilities, and the turnaround options for expedited or daily copy.

Buyer's guide

Hiring Certified Shorthand Reporters companies

What the work covers, how to judge a partner and what drives the price.

What certified shorthand reporters provide

At a deposition the reporter swears in the witness, records every word spoken, marks exhibits and handles read-and-sign procedures. Afterward they edit the steno notes into a certified transcript with an index, exhibits and word index, delivered as PDF, text files for litigation software and condensed copies.

Many reporting firms add realtime feeds to counsel laptops, rough drafts the same day, remote depositions on video platforms, legal videographers, interpreters, conference rooms and secure online repositories for transcripts and exhibits. Some also arrange process serving.

Certified Shorthand Reporters FAQs

Short answers to what buyers ask before hiring a Certified Shorthand Reporters company.

Question not covered? Ask our team

A certified shorthand reporter records spoken testimony verbatim with a stenotype machine at depositions, hearings and arbitrations, then produces the official certified transcript for the legal record.

Court reporters usually charge an appearance fee plus a per-page rate for the transcript and copies. Expedited delivery, realtime, video, interpreters and travel add to the total.

A court reporter attends the proceeding, swears in witnesses and certifies the transcript as the official record. A legal transcriptionist types from a recording afterward and generally cannot certify it as a reporter would.

Yes, many certified shorthand reporters cover remote depositions over video platforms, where rules allow. The reporter still administers the oath and certifies the transcript, and the firm often manages exhibits and the session.

Ask whether reporters are licensed in the state of the deposition, the delivery options and rates, realtime availability, and how remote sessions and exhibits are handled. Request an itemized rate sheet.
