Voice writers

Washington, USA (US Dept of Labor): Voice writers record everything in court that is said by judges, witnesses, attorneys, and other parties to a proceeding, including gestures and emotional reactions. Some voice writers produce a transcript in real time, using computer speech recognition technology. Other voice writers prefer to translate their voice files after the proceeding is over, or they transcribe the files manually, without using speech recognition at all.
Speech recognition technology is allowing voice writers to pursue not only court reporting careers, but also careers as closed captioners, CART reporters for hearing-impaired individuals, and Internet streaming text or caption providers.
