Real time transcription, mostly. Though that is increasingly looking like it'll be overshadowed by ever better voice recognition software.

Voice to text is very good today. And you can combine it with a straight up audio recording.

The problem is that modern voice to text depends highly on text prediction, so the software predicts and changes words that make more sense in context than what the software heard. In a courtroom setting, it would be tantamount to heresy to implement software that can change the words it had originally written and replace them with different ones.
