Marco Reid Reporter
Real-time transcription.
Every word, every hearing.
The US is short more than 11,000 stenographers and the gap is widening every year. Marco Reid Reporter is the answer: real-time AI transcription trained on legal vocabulary, with speaker diarisation, certified output, and support for 100+ languages.
Courts cannot find reporters.
There is an 11,000+ stenographer shortage nationwide, and it is getting worse every year. The average court reporter is over 55. Fewer than 300 new reporters graduate annually, while thousands retire. Courts across the country are canceling hearings, delaying depositions, and compromising the record because there simply are not enough reporters to go around.
The cost is staggering. A human court reporter charges $300–$500 per day — when one is available. Many proceedings go entirely unrecorded because no reporter could be booked. In rural jurisdictions, courts rely on aging digital recording equipment with no real-time capability and no searchable output. Attorneys wait weeks or months for transcripts. Appeals stall. Justice slows to a crawl.
Marco Reid Reporter solves the shortage by putting AI transcription in every courtroom. Real-time, legally certified, speaker-identified, and searchable the moment the hearing ends — at a fraction of the cost.
How it works.
AI transcribes in real time
Marco listens to courtroom audio and transcribes with sub-second latency. Legal vocabulary — case names, statutory citations, Latin terms, court formalities — is recognized with precision that general-purpose tools cannot match.
Speaker identification
The system separates judge, counsel, witness, and interpreter automatically. Each speaker is labeled in the transcript so the record is clear, organized, and ready for citation without manual cleanup.
Certified, searchable output
The moment the hearing ends, a certified transcript is available — timestamped, searchable, and exportable in every standard format. No weeks-long turnaround. No per-page fees. Attorneys can cite testimony within hours.
