A court reporter transcribes live, in real time. A legal transcriptionist transcribes both audio and video verbatim after being recorded. A misplaced comma or other punctuation can change the entire meaning of a sentence. Although a depo can be transcribed by a legal transcriptionist, it is not live, in person.
The notarial certificate verbiage is the same today as it was in the 1800’s. Like I originally said, my transcripts are not notarized and I, or the legal transcriptionist certify to the accuracy. Certify not sworn. |
