I am writing this on behalf of the attorney who told me about her experience with Esquire. The "reporter" could not read back, could not provide real-time, more concerned with everything else but her job. Try providing a real Certified Shorthand Reporter and not a fake wannabe.

Frequently Asked Questions About Esquire Deposition Solutions, LLC
How do you become a certified court reporter?
Court reporters typically attend a two-year program to learn the steno theory, build and maintain writing speed on the steno machine in excess of 225 words per minute, and gain educational insight surrounding the profession. The reporter then takes the state (where required) and/or national exams to gain licensure and/or certification. Many court reporters go on to obtain additional certifications from the National Court Reporting Association (NCRA) based on speeds up to 260 words per minute and industry knowledge.
What are the stenographic court reporter NCRA certifications?
- Registered Skilled Reporter (RSR)
- Registered Professional Reporter (RPR)
- Registered Merit Reporter (RMR)
- Registered Diplomate Reporter (RDR)
- Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR)
Not all states require court reporter certification, but legal professionals can be assured that Esquire’s skilled court reporters will deliver professionalism, excellent performance, and an impeccable transcript.
How many words can court reporters write per minute?
Legal court reporters must type around at a minimum of 225 words per minute with an accuracy rate of 95% to be certified.
What is Realtime Reporting?
During a deposition, lawyers must simultaneously listen to testimony from witnesses, note points for cross-examination and impeachment, and manage objections, among other critical tasks. Esquire helps reduce the stress of legal proceedings by offering attorneys realtime court reporting.
With realtime court reporting, a court reporter’s stenographic notes are immediately transformed into readable text, giving lawyers instant access to a written, searchable transcript of the proceeding.
What are the 3 methods Esquire Court Reporters use to preserve the record?
Esquire reporters are experts in one of three methods of capturing the spoken word: stenography, voice writing, and digital recording.
Stenography: Esquire’s stenographic court reporters use a steno machine to capture the legal proceeding. The steno reporter uses highly customized CAT software for format, edit, and deliver the final transcript.
Voice Writing: Esquire’s voice writers use their voice to create a text file by re-speaking a live event into a microphone or an enclosed speech silencing mask. A commercial speech recognition engine processes their analog speech to create formatted text output either as the event occurs or at a later time. Some voice writers also engage CAT software to increase efficiency.
Digital Reporting: Esquire’s digital reporters use purpose-built technology to capture an audio recording with detailed annotations that is later transcribed.
