FAQ'S
What is court reporting?
Court reporting involves transcribing spoken or recorded speech into written form, typically during legal proceedings like depositions, court hearings, and trials.
What is the difference between machine and voice stenography?
Machine stenography involves using a shorthand machine, while voice writing uses voice recognition technology. Both methods capture spoken words accurately and are accepted as forms of legal transcription in the State of California.
Do you offer digital "reporters"?
No. Regal Court Reporting will never risk your discovery process. Digital, while seemingly convenient, introduces risks of inaccuracies, unreliable transcripts, and potential legal challenges.

**For DEPOSITIONS - Standard delivery is 2 weeks from the date of deposition.
**For ARBITRATIONS & COURT (TRIALS & HEARINGS) - Standard delivery is 30 DAYS from the date of order, NOT THE DATE OF THE PROCEEDING
