Answer to Question 1

In the long run, yes. What may appear to be a short-term saving; that is replacing court reporters with an electronic recorder, will ultimately cost more when taking into consideration the expense of having the recordings transcribed. The transcription process can be very time consuming and expensive which may result in a greater expense than using the court reporter from the beginning.
