In the wake of technology
electronic gadgets have become an integral part of a court reporters life. Here
is list of some must have gadgets if you’re a court reporter.
Zoom H2n:
If you’re a Court reporter then an
audio recorder is something that you must have. You definitely don’t want to
miss anything in the courtroom and the answer for that and many other varied
uses is Zoom H2n. It is really compact and yet very powerful with a great
battery backup. The quality it provides you with is really out of the world.
Definitely something you need.
Bose AE2:
Without great headphones any good
quality recording is useless. It is a must that you have good quality
headphones for court reporting. The headphones with voice cancellation features
are not really good for transcribing the court room proceedings, so you need a
perfect mix of sound quality and sound cancellation. And Bose AE2 provides you
with just that, it’s great sound quality is a treat for the ears, along with
that it is even light in weight such that you can wear them for hours.
Power strip with USB:
Depositions and Court proceedings
can outlast batteries at times and if you’re a Court Reporter you cannot afford
that to happen. For such situations a USB power strip comes in handy as a
second power source to charge small gadgets such as digitals records, MP3
players and your cell phone. Get a USB converter to charge you different
gadgets along with the power strip that can fit in your bag and you are good to
go.
Boostaroo:
Boostaroo is dream gadget for any
court reporter. It can amplify the sound of any audio equipment you like up-to
2 times its maximum limit. Definitely a must have for 100% precise sound.
Logitech M305 Wireless Mouse:
A wireless mouse is better than a
wired one and definitely better than a track-pad. To make the reporting more
seamless you definitely need Logitech’s M305, very handy and comfortable for
even very long durations.
So these were some mouth watering
gadgets for Court Reporting that I personally recommend.
