Answer to Question 1

Because the accuracy of the record depends upon the ability of the reporter to take down and transcribe what is being said.

Answer to Question 2

The old method involved taking ones steno notes, sitting down at a computer or typewriter, and transcribing each fold of the notesa very laborious task. Or it involved dictating each fold of notes into a record so that a transcriptionist could transcribe from the tape. The new method uses realtime capabilities that results in an instant transcript.
