The work of court reporters is to write courtroom hearing word for word, as well as for other legal meetings. Additionally, they may use their skills in a capacity of television broadcasting to provide closed captioning. A courtroom reporter wannabe can work as a voice writer, a stenographer or an electronic reporter. An electronic correspondent records discussions with the help of radio tools, while voice writers repeat into a microphone some spoken words, figuring out actions and hand gestures. Stenographers on the other hand set down real-time conversations with stenotype machines.
