Boston Court Reporters
Since 2007, BCR has led the shift to digital reporting — ensuring reliable coverage with a younger, tech-savvy team while the stenographer workforce ages and declines.
Schedule a DepositionWhat You Get
Digital court reporting produces an identical certified transcript to stenography. What changes is what happens during the deposition and what you can do with the recording afterward.
Scroll live Q&A text during depositions for immediate review — on-screen, in real time, as testimony unfolds.
98% accurate rough drafts within 6–24 hours of the deposition. Ready for same-day review.
Time-coded transcripts linked to audio — click any line to rehear the witness verbatim. The direct, unfiltered, verifiable record of what was said, who said it, and how it was said.
For Zoom and hybrid depositions, sync to video for body language insights. Rewatch exact moments — facial expressions, hesitations, and tone that text alone misses. Perfect for impeachment prep.
