A transcript is a
written record of spoken language. In
court
proceedings, a transcript is usually a record of all decisions
of the
judge,
and the spoken
arguments by the
litigants'
lawyers. The transcript is expected to be an exact and
unedited record of every spoken word, with each speaker
indicated. Such a record was originally made by court
stenographers who used a form of
shorthand abbreviation to write as quickly as people spoke.
Today most
court reporters use a specialized machine with a
phonetic key system, typing a key or key combination for
every sound a person utters.
Many courts worldwide have now begun to use
digital recording systems. The recordings are archived and
are sent to court reporters or transcribers only when a
transcript is requested.
