Court Reporter

As a court reporter there are a number of advantages and professional benefits as
well. The multiple positions that are available are numerous and it helpos to
understand which position fits where in what professional entity or oraginization.
Many states varie in their requirements as well too.

The NCRA has some requirements that you must meet to get certified one being
you need to pass the typing test for a steno , you will be required to successfully
demonstrate your ability to capture at least 225 words per minute. Most
governement orgainizations require this minimum standard but because the
stenotype machine is more suited for typing it easier to achieve this than
traditional typing so don't let this stop you.

Also don't let this stop you because there are many other techniques you can
use.You can be a voice reporter or broadcast captioner where there is more simple
editing involved and the CART computer simply helps with transmission fo the words
converting them into computer generated type on the screen of the system. These
types of reporters use the most cutting edge technology and are easier than a
stenographer position but usually pay less because of this.

Most post-secondary schools, colleges, vocational schools, and technical
schoolsoffer most of these programs but there is not an over abundance. When
determining which program is best for you, you should evaluate a school on many
topics such as tuition whether they are supported by the NCRA or if they have a
placement program. If they offer tuition assistance if it is governement funded such
as federal financial aid this is a great statement as the quality of the program has
been verified by the United States government.
