- Intelligent retrieval of historical records and precedents (AI-assisted quick search)
- Generate structured court transcript drafts (AI-assisted first draft, manual refinement)
- Understanding of legal procedures and compliance judgment.
- Ability to handle accents, dialects, and complex language scenarios adaptively
- Ethical judgment and confidentiality regarding sensitive or controversial content
- Interpersonal coordination and emergency handling at court scenes
- Operation and calibration of AI voice recognition tools (e.g., Otter.ai, Rev)

Entry-level positions (e.g., junior stenographers) declining due to AI voice-to-text tools reducing demand for basic shorthand skills, but senior court reporters still need professional certification.
It is recommended to transition from a basic stenographer to a legal technology specialist, mastering the management and optimization of AI transcription tools, while improving understanding of legal terminology and procedures. Further develop into a court technology consultant responsible for deploying and maintaining AI-assisted systems, or shift to high-value roles like legal data analysis or e-evidence management.
