- EMErin Bradley McAleerDec 4, 20241.0Avoid this company at all costs. 154 pages of transcripts over 2 hours on a Sunday was over $2,100.00. Their bill is loaded with junk fees. Compliance fees of $55.00 each deposition when you go back to back, $60.00 for something called litigation support package charged 3 times, and it goes on and on. Even the court reporter was snippy. Avoid Avoid Avoid.
- LTLaura TrachtmanMar 2, 20224.0ETA: Once I posted my 1-star review, I was taken off of the collections list and they apologized, but the fact that it took so long and I had to resort to giving a bad (although truthful) review is why they're only getting 4 stars now. They could still work on their accuracy in transcription. First of all, I have seen multiple mistakes in all of the transcripts that they prepared. Second of all, the court reporter mistakenly reported that I ordered a transcript in a situation in which I am entitled to a transcript, representing the witness, and after rejecting all of their invoices, they sent the invoice to a collections agency. So now I have to deal with that. I will literally never work with them again.
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.
