The TrackR | If you have a court reporter whose worst nightmare is leaving their equipment at home or at a job, then the TrackR is the gift for them. When attached to their steno machine or placed in their bag the TrackR has a separation alert feature that notifies them before leaving anything behind. |

Anti-Arthritis Compression Gloves |
A pair of anti-arthritis compression gloves is a great gift for anyone who overworks their hands, especially court reporters. The compression fabric extends beyond the wrists to provide pain and swelling relief for the entire hand and wrist. For reporters, opt for open-finger gloves, that way they can easily feel their keys without too much constriction. |

Boostaroo Headphone Audio Amplifier |
The Boostaroo audio amplifier was a gift idea posted on the blog of Ruffin Consulting. “If you haven’t experienced the Boostaroo, you’re missing out. The Boostaroo is an audio amplifier for headphones. It’s great for transcribing court recorded audio, or listening to backup audio of distant participants. They’re inexpensive and portable.” |

Belkin 4-Outlet Surge Protector with 8 USB Charging Ports |
Today’s court reporters depend on their mobile devices as throw down devices when sending realtime. The Belkin 4-Outlet Surge Protector includes 8 USB charging ports. Not only does this item give a reporter plenty of ports for plugging in their machine and other devices, it also reduces clutter and saves space. |

Steering Wheel Portable Desk |
Court reporters are always on the go. They spend a large amount of time in their cars, waiting for jobs to start. Rather than saving all their work for the end of the day when they get home, they can get started early while waiting for the next job to start. The Steering Wheel Portable Desk slips over the steering wheel and turns any car into a portable office. |
 |
 |
Stealth Microphone | The DepoBook Stealth Microphone was developed by a working court reporter. It plugs into a laptop, steno machine, or external sound card and allows high quality audio to be recorded. When editing a transcript, reporters rely on recorded audio to make corrections, so having a device they can count on is essential. |

Travel Gear Electronics Accessories Organizer |
Cords and cables can be a court reporter’s enemy. An electronics accessory organizer will allow them to keep everything neat and tidy in one place. No messy tangled up cables, or forgotten power cords at the end of the day makes for a happy, less stressed reporter. |

Recorder w/ Conference Microphone |
The Sony meeting recording equipment is meant for on the go reporters who need a reliable voice recording package. This recorder records voices clearly and concisely. Multiple microphones can be placed at opposite ends of the room and will pick up voices perfectly. |
