Courts may use digital transcription platforms to preserve court records in all court proceedings, notwithstanding existing certification requirements under R.S. 37:2556(A)(1)

Court reporters certified in any method may transcribe court records virtually using court-approved cloud-based digital recording systems without being physically present during proceedings

Certified digital reporters may remotely operate recording equipment in any trial court using digital recording platforms

Court personnel may operate and monitor digital recording systems without digital certification, but must be trained in best practices for digital recording controls and equipment monitoring
