Fact: There are just not enough stenographers who are willing and/or able to provide in-person (IP) CART captioning. And we are turning down or referring requests at least once a week. This is a sector of the industry that is GROWING, despite advances in AI. Most folks are either afraid of "writing naked," or they're intimidated by what they believe is complicated physical tech to make IP CART captioning possible. The truth is that you probably already have everything you need to perform the work; all you need is a few small pieces of equipment and some very simple training. This is applicable to both machine steno and voice writers. Participants will leave the sessions knowing: — Background information about the Deaf/Hard of Hearing (D/HoH) community and who needs CART captioning — Modes of CART captioning delivery and examples of setup — Things to bring to every job — What to ask for at each job — Possible venues and their challenges — Best practices, both before accepting a job and for performing CART captioning services — Audio considerations — NCRA CART references — Considerations for determining charges Total CEU: 0.10.

This advanced session is designed for seasoned captioning professionals who are ready to push their skills to the next level. We’ll dive deep into the real‑world challenges that working captioners face: rapid‑fire dialogue, overlapping speakers, complex terminology, and the pressure of maintaining both precision and readability in live environments. Through hands‑on exercises, peer review, and guided practice, participants will refine their realtime strategies, strengthen their linguistic decision‑making, and explore techniques for producing captions that are not only accurate, but audience‑centered and stylistically consistent. We’ll also examine evolving industry expectations, emerging technologies, and best practices for maintaining professional resilience in high‑stakes captioning scenarios. By the end of the session, attendees will walk away with sharper reflexes, stronger editorial instincts, and a renewed sense of confidence in their ability to deliver exceptional captions under any conditions.

In an interpreted deposition, not only can a competent and professional interpreter make a long and demanding day run more smoothly for the court reporter, but they can also significantly affect the quality and integrity of the record. Because even the most skilled reporter cannot transcribe what they do not hear clearly. Attendees will be taken on a guided journey by two established court interpreters to examine, in the age of AI, what their responsibilities entail at each stage of a deposition and the workflow they employ to address each task — from the initial deposition inquiry to the event that formally marks the closing of the assignment. In addition to sharing practical tips and best practices for working effectively with court interpreters, we will demonstrate, through real-life examples, how AI can both enhance productivity and become a hindrance. By illustrating court interpreters’ work processes and the ways in which AI is integrated throughout those processes, we will draw parallels between two distinct yet closely connected professions and identify shared challenges posed by emerging technologies. As integral participants in the legal system, we must work collaboratively to educate and advocate for the responsible, ethical, and safe use of technology within the legal community and to speak thoughtfully against the indiscriminate, cost-driven adoption of AI.

Whether you're covering a packed courtroom, a tight deposition suite, or a multi-party arbitration, your audio setup can make or break the quality of your record. This session walks through practical mic configurations for every setting, from corded and wireless options to extensions and accessories that give you flexibility without sacrificing sound quality.

Jessica Waack
Jessie Waack has been a freelance court reporter for 30 years, building her career across Wisconsin, San Francisco, and New York City. Throughout that time, she has worked on a wide range of litigation, with much of her recent work focused on complex cases. Her experience in multiple legal markets has given her a practical perspective on both the profession and its evolution over the past three decades.
In each place she has called home, Jesse has enjoyed becoming involved with the local court reporting community, serving on the boards of the Wisconsin Court Reporters Association, the Deposition Reporters Association, and the New York State Court Reporters Association. Those experiences have given her the opportunity to connect with reporters across the country and contribute to a profession she has enjoyed for nearly three decades.
When the legal industry rapidly evolved during the pandemic, Jessica embraced the opportunity to expand her technical expertise. She immersed herself in learning new technologies, refining workflows, and discovering innovative ways to streamline both her business and the reporting process. What began as a necessity quickly became a passion.
Today, Jessica enjoys sharing the practical knowledge and solutions she has discovered with fellow court reporters and legal professionals. She believes technology should support court reporters — not overwhelm them — and is passionate about helping others find simple, effective ways to streamline their workflow, reduce stress, and reclaim valuable time. Her goal is to help others spend less time managing the mechanics of the job and more time focusing on their careers, their families, and the things that matter most.

Join Deb DuBuc, Program Chair of Realtime Court Reporting at Des Moines Area Community College, and freelance reporter Alex Lederer as they examine the role AI tools can (should?) play in preparing students and new reporters to pursue the perfect transcript. We are not talking ASR here; we want to foster those writing and transcription skills necessary for certification. Rather, we will share some tips and facilitate discussion about tools both within and outside CAT software that schools can (should?) be teaching to empower graduates to enter the workforce with confidence, knowing they have the transcript production skills that will set them apart and make them assets to the firms/courts with whom they seek employment. Join us to learn more or share your favorite AI-enhanced “must-know” with the educators training tomorrow’s workforce. Learning outcomes: — Consider how responsible AI use may enhance student learning while maintaining the core competencies required for certification — Compare educator and industry perspectives on the role AI tools can/should play in the training of the next generation of reporters — Discuss ethical considerations and best practices for incorporating AI into court reporting education without undermining essential writing and transcription skill development — Discover AI-powered tools that can support court reporting students in developing stronger transcript production, editing, and proofreading skills — Demonstrate practical strategies for teaching students to use AI tools responsibly to improve transcript accuracy, consistency, and formatting during the editing process Total CEU 0.10.
