What is the difference between a reporter's transcript and a clerk's transcript?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Scott v. Sherman, No. 2:16-cv-1957 JAM KJN P (E.D. Cal. 2019):

Finally, the undersigned notes the words spoken by the trial judge, as reflected in the reporter's transcript, on May 23, 2012, and the minutes found in the clerk's transcript for that same date are in accord with one another. Said another way, the transcripts are not in conflict. Cf. People v. Smith (1983) 33 Cal.3d 596, 599 (1983) (the state high court rejected a mechanical approach to conflicts between the reporter's and clerk's transcripts. Where the record cannot be harmonized, "'that part of the record will prevail, which, because of its origin and nature or otherwise, is entitled to greater credence [citation]. Therefore, whether the recitals in the clerk's minutes should prevail as against contrary statements in the reporter's transcript, must depend upon the circumstances of each particular case'").
