Occupational Background:
Realtime reporters in Court Reporting, Medical Transcription and CART and TV Caption Reporting (working with the deaf and hard-of-hearing) in the 21st Century are in ever-greater demand.People who work in these fields can testify to this shortage.
The Jan. 3, 2003 Christian Science Monitor reported: “Demand for court reporters grows even as their ranks dwindle, forcing courts to postpone trials.”
Senator Harkin, D-Iowa, stated on the senate floor in February 2003, “There are only 300 known captioners today. Something has to be done.”
Senator Golden also noted that “This increasing need for court reporters and specially trained reporters as Captioners and CART providers is creating a critical shortage.”
