A court stenographer who accurately captures passive-voice testimony — 'The money was taken' — has faithfully discharged the duty of accuracy, even if the witness used active voice in the original statement.

If a witness says 'He told me to sign it' and no other male person was mentioned in that exchange, the pronoun 'he' is sufficiently clear and requires no additional context in the transcript.

A transcript entry using a direct quotation with exact words is always stronger evidence in court than a well-crafted paraphrase of the same statement.

The phrase 'I did not hit him because I was speeding' is a legally ambiguous statement that can be read as both a complete denial and a partial admission — without changing a single word.

AI-assisted transcription under the SPJI 2022–2027 increases — not decreases — the legal liability exposure of the human court stenographer.

A stenographer who transcribes every spoken word correctly but omits all punctuation has technically satisfied the Completeness pillar of the 4C Rule.

Under Admin Circular 24-90, the court may rely on a judge's personal hearing notes as a substitute for the TSN when the transcript contains a disputed ambiguity.

Transcribing 'The witnesses' statement' when only one witness gave the statement is merely a stylistic inconsistency and carries no legal consequence.

A transcript can be Clear, Consistent, and Complete under the 4C Rule — and still be wrong.

Inserting a comma where none was spoken is a more serious transcription error than accidentally omitting one spoken word, because a phantom comma creates false evidence rather than losing true evidence.
