Apple releases new iPad, may provide convenience for realtime court reporters

It's not often that companies like Apple come around and lead innovations with products that can be useful in nearly all industries. While the tablet computers created by Apple aren't the only ones that can provide utility to court reporters looking for a small and portable way to translate deposition transcriptions – Microsoft, Google and Amazon all have ones on the market – the California-based company recently released a new one that's received plenty of attention.

Apple released its iPad Mini on November 2. Although the tech giant's latest product may not have garnered the long lines that its iPhone and full-sized iPad created, it was still a busy day for Apple stores worldwide. According to Reuters, the location on Fifth Avenue in New York had roughly 600 individuals waiting in line.

According to the source, though, many experts are skeptical of the new tablet's effectiveness, especially with such a high price.

"The reason we expect fewer iPad minis compared to the 3rd Gen is because of the lack of wireless option and the newness of the small form factor for consumers," Gene Munster, Piper Jaffray analyst, told the source. "We believe that over time that will change."

Regardless, these tablets can be excellent tools for court reporters everywhere that need a small and portable device to translate transcriptions with.

The iPad Mini and court reporting

As court reporting has evolved from the days when Charles Dickens would transcribe depositions and trials with pen and paper to the ergonomically designed stenograph machines that are used now, the use of software has also penetrated the market.

Many types of transcribing software are operable on tablet computers and with the release of the iPad Mini comes an opportunity for realtime court reporters to transcribe depositions and meetings at a near instant rate. With this software and hardware, professionals can offer an answer to nearly any callback from a lawyer or judge with 100 percent accuracy.
