Our Note Takers
Note Takers are also known as court reporters, verbatim reporters, or stenographers. They are responsible for producing a precise and real-time summary of what is being said and can accurately write at speeds of around 200 words per minute.
How Do Note Taking Work?
Our Note Takers are trained to use machine or pen shorthand. They will bring their own equipment, to produce a word-for-word report of the spoken word at an appointment.

Why Use Us?
Translate UK provides experienced, professional Notetakers across the country. Our notetakers are vetted, DBS checked and registered individuals, available for face-to-face or remote meetings. We pride ourselves on providing a high-quality service, with a flexible, personal approach. Whatever the situation, we are here to assist you with your unique language needs.
Registered Note Takers
We can provide Note Takers who are registered with the British Institute for Verbatim Reporting. Alternatively, for those working with deaf, hard of hearing or the deafblind, we can supply Note Takers who are registered with the NRCPD. Let us know the details of your note taking needs when you get in touch, and we will connect you with the best Note Taker for you.
Confidential and Secure
We understand how important it is to keep the details of your notes secure. Therefore, we ask our Note Takers to sign a code of conduct and data protection agreement before undertaking any work with us. We can also provide DBS checked Note Takers if needed. If a digital copy of your notes needs to be sent to you, then you can rest assured, as we only ever send documents by secure email.
When To Use Note Takers
We can provide Note Takers across a wide variety of sectors including court reporting and speech to text reporting for those who cannot make their own notes. This might be where a client is focused on watching a lip speaker or a BSL interpreter, or for clients with visual impairments, dyslexia, or mobility problems.
Electronic Note Takers
Electronic Note Takers use an ordinary laptop which can then be linked to a clientâs laptop to provide them with a real-time summary of the meeting taking place. For deafblind clients, the note takerâs laptop can be linked to a braille machine.
The note taker will use a specialist note taking software which allows them to use shorthand language and type at a faster speed. It will also allow the client to type messages to the note taker or add their own notes. At the end of the meeting the note taker will provide a copy of the notes either as a hard copy or as a digital copy via email or on a memory stick.
Manual Note Takers
Manual Note Takers provide a clear set of handwritten notes for clients to read after a meeting. The notes will include a summarised account of all relevant information, this may include discussion, comments, and asides.
With manual note taking it is much easier for the note taker to include annotations, diagrams and equations when needed. When required we can provide a typed copy of the notes for an additional charge.
