Stenographer

One who is trained and certified to write shorthand, either by machine or hand, and report any proceedings, whether it be depositions, court, or captioning for the deaf/hard of hearing. They are responsible for keeping an accurate and clear record of legal proceedings.

Who is that person in front of the courtroom typing on that funny-looking machine?

That's a stenographer.
