Hybrid Threat

Both AI software and physical automation threaten different aspects of this role, creating a compound risk from multiple directions.

AI real-time transcription tools like Verbit and Otter.ai are achieving near-human accuracy for general speech, directly competing with court reporters on standard proceedings. Verbatim legal transcription for complex multi-party hearings, real-time CART captioning for deaf individuals in unpredictable environments, and certifying official court records under oath still require human reporters. Through 2027 this role faces severe disruption for routine depositions and transcription work; CART captioning for live events and official court proceedings where accuracy and accountability are legally mandated will sustain a smaller workforce.
