According to a study by Strategy& of PwC, between 30% and 50% of small court reporting agencies (CRAs) in Florida are either hybrid or fully digital due to the reporter shortage. Finding court reporters and stenographers after the “Great Resignation” only adds to the challenge for court administrators and agencies alike. The deficit is more pronounced in states with more litigation, including California, New York, Texas, Illinois and Florida, but ultimately, it is an issue that affects all courts and their stakeholders. Currently in Florida, the increase in workloads, case backlog and the resource shortage are causing courts to have to prioritize which trials will have a court reporter present, delaying justice and increasing costs.
Many courts have begun to utilize modern technology to address their challenges. As they implement integrated technology to modernize workflows, enhance productivity and improve accessibility of information, VIQ is providing end-to-end innovative solutions to meet court needs. High-quality digital recording, cloud-sharing for better collaboration, automated drafts, and real-time transcription improve court professionals’ productivity and drive more expeditious proceedings.
