  • We need doctors, teachers and researches. This is
    common knowledge. But what about those
    professions that are not in the spot light.

  • If you are looking for a non-attorney job in the
    judiciary, court reporting might just be the
    career for you. A court reporter, also known as
    a stenographer or shorthand reporter, transcribes
    the spoken word/testimony at court hearings,
    depositions, trials, arbitrations, or any
    official proceedings. You might have seen this
    on television shows and movies, the one silent
    character who is just reporting everything.
    However, dont tell that judge the profession. A
    court reporter is considered as an officer of the
    court.

  • Today there are several types of tools and
    technology used to record, however, the primary
    method is a steno machine, a word processor with
    a modified 22-button keyboard, upon which words
    are written phonetically.

  • Court reporters are an integral part of the legal
    process. They are responsible for recording and
    preparing verbatim transcripts of proceedings to
    be used by attorneys, judges and litigants. Court
    reporters also serve the deaf and hard-of-hearing
    communities by providing real-time captions for
    live television programs, as well as one-on-one
    personalized services in educational and public
    environments.

  • If you are worried about the annual salary, then
    let us tell you, just as anything else in life,
    what you get out of something is a product of the
    effort you put into it! Reports show that court
    reporters who have invested in continuing
    education, advanced certification, and
    cutting-edge technology typically earn well into
    six-figure salaries.

  • Also it is very important to note that there are
    different types of jobs for those who master the
    skills required to become a court reporter. A
    freelance court reporter is an independent court
    reporter or one who works for a court reporting
    firm whose work is primarily recording testimony
    taken in the discovery part of a case
    (depositions), as well as meetings, arbitrations
    and hearings. An official court reporter is
    typically hired by a court system and works
    inside the courtroom. One can even give captions
    for all live programming for various broadcasting
    networks.
