Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Voice writing is a method used for court reporting. Using the voice-writing method, a court reporter speaks directly into a stenomask or voice silencer—a hand-held mask containing a microphone. As the reporter repeats the testimony into the recorder, the mask prevents the reporter from being heard during testimony. Voice writers record everything that is said by judges, witnesses, attorneys, and other parties to a proceeding, including gestures and emotional reactions, and prepare transcripts afterwards. Inside the steno mask is a microphone and voice-dampening materials. Modern masks have two microphones. To produce a transcript, the reporter simply plays back the recording and types with a standard keyboard. Today, the computer can replace the cassette tape machine, and foot pedals can plug into a computer''s USB port.
