Huseby Inc. Court Reporting Blog | Nationwide Court Reporters

Our clients assume that Huseby’s legal transcription services are offered only to legal agencies. Although courtrooms and attorneys’ offices are a common venue for our court reporters, you might be surprised how many private businesses and government agencies use our services as well.

Ensuring Everyone Hears the Same Words

Human hearing and memory are fallible. Each person in a meeting remembers things differently. It’s not a matter of dishonesty. Each person genuinely hears something different. Huseby legal transcription services provide an impartial record of the actual words spoken.

Court reporters got their start documenting court proceedings. With an unbiased record, people could examine the case after the fact and see events recorded in an impartial fashion. Deposition services allow attorneys to read a witness’s statement and ensure each side in a case hears the same testimony.

This commitment to accuracy and neutrality later attracted other clients. Anyone who needed an impartial observer, a professional listener, could use our reporters to provide documentation. It might be an event as highly charged as strike negotiations or as mundane as the CEO’s annual speech to employees. Either way, an accurate record can be created.

The Problem with Audio Recordings

So you agree you need a record of an event. Digital recorders are cheaper than certified court reporters. Isn’t an audio recording as good as legal transcription services? In a word, no.

Audio is a complicated field and setting up microphones to pick up important statements while not recording every creaking seat and crinkling candy wrapper is difficult. Technicians spend years learning how to record audio properly. Even then, words can be blocked out if someone isn’t speaking clearly or another participant coughs at the wrong time.

When Huseby provides legal transcription services to your organizations, we send court reporters whose only job is to produce an accurate transcript. Everyone else in the room is distracted by what is being said. Our professionals are focused on creating the record. If words are drowned out or mumbled, a digital recorder isn’t going to ask people to repeat themselves.

Why Should You Use Huseby As Your Court Reporting Agency?

Do you need legal transcription services? Can’t you bring in someone who knows shorthand or can type fast? Again, no. Court reporters do more than produce a transcript. They produce a transcript that will stand up in court. The scribbled minutes of a meeting don’t have the same weight as a Huseby transcript.

Huseby reporters hold certifications given out only to those who have demonstrated exceptional ability. Most of our reporters hold the Registered Professional Reporter (RPR) and some have gone beyond this to get advanced certifications such as the RMR and RDR.

We can provide references to other clients who can vouch for the quality of our legal transcription services. Our reporters all have extensive education and experience in the field. In short, you won’t find a better agency for your transcript needs than Huseby.
