ELECTRONIC COURT REPORTER OPERATOR (ECRO) Digital audio technology involves sound systems (microphones and mixers) and personal computers with specialized software and/or hardware working together. These systems provide sound recordings in a digital format. No simultaneous text or transcript is produced beyond the recorder's log notes. The system does not provide an instantaneous transcript in the courtroom. The recording system provides the capability to listen to material that was previously recorded through playback to the ECRO operator only (there is no function at this time to playback for all to hear in the courtroom) or burned to a CD. All recordings are stored on a central server whereas retrieval is possible for up to twenty years. Request for transcription of hearing: 1.
