Queens Court Reporting Students Compete for Speed and Accuracy in Contest to Prepare for Jobs
S For Story/10366083
NEW YORK - Feb. 15, 2019 - s4story -- Over 100 students from Plaza College in Queens, who are training for highly skilled jobs, showcased their court reporting skills, rapidly and accurately transcribing dictation as they competed in the 2019 National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) Student Speed Contest.
Court Reporting students battled the clock and each other as they deployed their specialized skills in recording dictation in stenographer's shorthand. Winning students had to qualify with the fastest times and a minimum 96 percent accuracy.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (https://www.bls.gov/ooh/legal/court-reporters.htm), court reporting jobs will grow 3% nationwide by the year 2026. Plaza College, in Forest Hills, is the only court stenography program in all of New York City, enrolling 200 students.
Stenographers don't use QWERTY keyboards during court proceedings. Instead they use a stenotype to type with fewer keys that record syllables, words, and phrases in one hand motion.

Students transcribe using a specialized shorthand machine which interfaces with a customized laptop computer, taking dictation at various speeds as they train to join the ranks of court reporters, who keep vital records for legal hearings and trials; grand juries; depositions; government meetings and hearings at the local, state and federal levels; TV closed captioning and services for the hearing impaired.
"We are the guardians of the record. Our role is crucial because we record and preserve the accurate accounts of trials, depositions, grand juries and other crucial aspects of the legal system which are essential to ensuring the fair administration of justice," said Plaza College Court Reporting Program Chair and Vice President of the NYS Court Reporters Association, Karen Santucci. "We are extremely proud of the professionals who graduate this program and go on to not only work in the courts but also perform closed captioning and provide services for the hearing impaired. Our students are well prepared for these crucially important well-paying jobs in which they can build their careers."
"Keeping a record is extremely important because if something goes wrong in the trial you need to have a record of that. An accurate record is important to life and society as we know it and it is beneficial for the future" said Bianna Lewiss, Plaza College NCRA Student Speed Competition Winners and Court Reporting Student. "In big ways it changes lives and in little ways it changes lives."
