Electronic recording and court reporters serve the same goal.
One important part of California's electronic recording conversation deserves attention.
Its purpose is to help courts maintain a verbatim record when a reporter is unavailable.
The challenge facing many jurisdictions is not choosing between reporters and technology.
The issue is ensuring litigants are not left without a record at all.
Purpose-built courtroom recording systems can help courts:
* Capture multi-channel audio and video.
* Support transcript preparation
* Improve accessibility through captioning.
* Preserve proceedings for future review.
The intention remains unchanged:
Create and preserve an accurate record of the proceedings.
