A Day in the Life of Fort Bragg's Lead Court Reporter

Stacy Craver has seen everything from AWOL cases to capital murder trials. She has to maintain her focus and multitasks in her daily job as a closed mask reporter inside the military courthouse.

Performing the job at Fort Bragg for 12 years wearing the Army uniform, Craver moved into the job as a civilian after she left the military upon having three children.

"It's never a boring day," joked Craver. "I work with really smart people, I love that."

She is certified at 300 words per minute - the maximum one can be rated at. Using the mask to speak all of the courtroom verbiage, she takes notes on the keyboard with one hand for back up.

In the court-martial trial for Sgt. Adam Holcomb, from time to time during the week, a faint smile would break out on Craver's face as she recorded the testimony.

Craver's skill and dedication to her profession allow individuals in the courtroom to get to the end state of the trial, thanks to her attention to detail.

How Does a Reporter Mask work?

The user holds the Stenographer mask against the face while speaking into the microphone inside the housing. The Reporter Mask contains or silences the user's Stenographer as well as excluding unwanted noise from outside. The result is clear and quiet communication.

The Stenographer mask can be plugged into a variety of equipment including recorders, transmitters, phones, amplifiers and computers. Wherever there is a microphone, you can use a Sylencer / Stenographer mask. It is ideal for anyone requiring privacy, Stenographer silencing or noise reduction communication.
