DIRECTION?

[JiLL]

Where would one start out wanting to get into scoping even as part time? I am awaiting to take state boards for voicewriting (steno mask) in April '09. I want to give it a shot & was wondering if on-the-job training would be avail? I want to make extra cash and thinking this may be a good way to get my feet wet. Do you have to buy your own equip or is there some thats readily avail? I don't want to spend more $$$ on education but would love to work in this field while waiting to test...Court Reporting school was enough. More info please! Thanks... Jill

Jill, I'm not that familiar with voicewriting, but I would think you would need a transcriber digital for your computer, like express scribe and a foot pedal to plug into your computer. You will need some editi sngoftware.
I'm a reporter on StenoCAT32, and I think there is a demand for scopists on that CAT system.
Hope I'm pointing you in the right direction. -Elise
