How does the AAERT CET vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 AAERT CET terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the AAERT CET terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the AAERT (American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the AAERT CET certification?
The Certified Electronic Transcriber (CET) is a professional credential administered by the American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers (AAERT). It validates competence in producing accurate verbatim transcripts from audio recordings of court and legal proceedings, including federal transcript formatting, verbatim conventions, legal terminology, and the ethical obligations of accuracy and confidentiality.
What is the difference between AAERT CET and CER?
The CET (Certified Electronic Transcriber) certifies the person who produces written transcripts from audio recordings — they listen, type, format, proofread, and certify the final transcript. The CER (Certified Electronic Reporter) certifies the person who captures and digitally records the proceedings in the courtroom — they set up microphones, monitor audio quality, and create log notes. Some professionals hold both certifications; many specialize in only one role.
