IR Overview |
|
Calgary Independent
Reporters began providing court reporting services to Calgary law firms in 1987.
In 1989, we opened our Edmonton office, Edmonton Independent Reporters, and
provided court reporting services in the two major cities in Alberta.
Having offices in both cities allows Calgary/Edmonton Independent Reporters, IR,
to provide court reporters anywhere in the province of Alberta.
Since then, IR, has grown to become
Canada’s leading experts in court reporting and realtime technologies, both live
and to the Internet. Our companies provide a full range of
services from general court reporting services, including interactive realtime,
realtime closed-captioning for the broadcast industry, and video conferencing
services.
IR first introduced realtime services to Alberta lawyers in 1992. The
Public Utilities Board of Alberta was the first client to
receive realtime services in the province and today
continues to use realtime for their members and staff on
every major hearing.
Two other areas complement
our legal division, legal video services and video conferencing. Having our own
legal video service department ensures quality and professional service to our
clients. IR is the only firm in Western Canada to have it's own in-house
Certified Legal Video Specialist, CLVS. The guarantees our clients
professional legal video services on any application. As well, video
conferencing facilities are available in both our Calgary and Edmonton offices
to connect you to the world without ever leaving town. We can arrange to
connect you to any location, anywhere, anytime.
Outside of the legal
services we provide, IR has worked with the hearing impaired community since the
late 80's providing realtime captioning services as well as CART for educational
purposes. In 2004, IR revolutionized the way CART services are provided to the
educational community. Now, all services are provided through the Internet. No
longer does the CART writer have to attend live in the
classroom setting. Providing the services remotely increases our range of
coverage, and the services are not limited to any geographical location.
In 2006, IR began it's Broadcast Captioning Division. This division of the
company is responsible for provide realtime closed-captioning services to the
broadcast community. We provide captioning services in both Canada and the
United States.
