And thank you for answering my question in this video, I was mainly confused because I was just starting to learn about CR and the only person I knew that did it, they did digital. So I did some more research and landed on Voice Writing and am currently going to school for that :) but your videos are super helpful and I enjoy watching them. I would have loved to learn on the machine but my lifestyle just wouldn’t allow it, I heard one person say you need to practice on the machine for hours everyday, but with the steno mask you only need to practice at minimum 30 minutes. Very excited for this career choice :) maybe some day I’ll learn the machine but for now it’s the mask.
You can’t use an iMAC M1 for court reporting. I had one I wanted to use and was told it wouldn’t be able to handle the software. Depending if you use eclipse vox or speech cat that software is pretty intense so you need a PC that can handle it and won’t give you any issues.
Hii my name is Kinley, I start court reporting school in January. I’ve always wanted to find a career I could work freelance in and hearing you talk about your experience helped me decide on court reporting. My question is how do I get in touch with freelance court reporters in my area and how do I ask to shadow them?
Hello! I want to to get into Court Reporting but I am nervous about working on my listening skills. I think that is one of my flaws when it comes to my ADHD. Like when I watch a movie, or have conversations, I will sometimes space out. Have you ever had a problem like this or know any court reporters who have overcame this challenge?
I think you would be okay!! It’s weird how our brains can hear something but think others. Sometimes I’m not paying super close attention but I’m still writing. If the job if very technical and I need to really pay attention, I am more focused. But I think you’d do fine 🤗👍🏼
Digital court reporters do not use steno machines. I believe they just type up audio with a standard keyboard… here in Minnesota, judges are actually hiring them. They are known as “DCRs.” Big, big controversy for us stenos!
This video made my day! Always love to hear about court reporting stuff

Thank you for your steno videos. Please do more if possible?

I am looking at a 3 year program to become a court reporter. Is 3 years typical?
I would say yes! I got out around two. It really depends on your level of attentiveness during the program and how much practice you put in.

Can you have misdemeanors and be a court reporter
