We’ve been watching the civil proceedings against MTG, and all throughout, this woman to the judge’s right (the court clerk, I assume) has been continually raising a device to her mouth. Can anyone tell me what it is?
Yes, that’s a device used by court reporters in a few places (mostly in the South, in my experience). They repeat everything said.
It’s very strange.
Ah, I see…court reporter, not clerk.
Does the stenomask replace the steno machine you usually used by court reporters? This court reporter’s hands are completely occupied with the mask, so she can’t be using anything else.
I’d think there’s more chance of errors with a voice recognition based system, which is analig, as opposed to using a traditional steno machine, which is quite literally digital. With a typo in the transctipt, you can figure out what word was meant, but with an audio track sometimes not so much.
Yes. I don’t get this “technology” at all. However, I’ve only encountered it a handful of times. (the first time, I thought the court report was on oxygen).
