  • Sue Ellen

    My desk is clear and I am ready to add a couple additional clients to my schedule.  I work full-time as a proofreader, so my focus is on my clients and the work they send me.   I have been working with court reporters for a number years, have a BA in English with a minor in linguistics, a broad vocabulary, and a passion for grammar and punctuation.

    I work in .pdf format and have the ability to convert your documents, as needed, from .txt, .doc, or other formats.  In addition to depositions, hearings, and court proceedings, I also have experience with meeting minutes of various types.  I will read any type of case, regardless of content or subject.

    I perform online research as a matter of course, and I insert sticky notes where my research results are more than a few words.

    My regular AND expedited rates are reasonable, with no additional charges for weekends.  I am currently offering a special, introductory rate for first time clients.  Contact me for details!

    Why do you need a transcript proofreader? Between taking down a job, scoping it, proofing it, submitting it, and all the stuff in between (you know, eating and sleeping and being with family), it can be hard to get everything done. With me on your team, your time goes further without having to sacrifice what's important to you. Take back your free time. Let's be teammates.
     
    You can email me at chelsea@starlighteditorial.com or visit my website, starlighteditorial.com. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Have a great day!
     
  • Kari Cox

    I know how hard court reporters work to make their transcripts as close to perfect as possible. With an organized, efficient, and detail-oriented proofreader on your team, you can rest in knowing that you will achieve that goal. The court reporter’s preferences are a top priority for me. Just tell me what your preferences are, and I’ll proof your transcripts based on those preferences. For more information, email me at karicoxproofing@gmail.com, or visit my website, www.karicox.com.

    Hello everyone! I'm a PDF proofreader looking to build more lasting relationships. I charge $0.35 per page for standard turnaround and do not charge extra for weekends!

  • Lu Weil

    My name is Lu Weil.  After working as a staff proofreader for many years at a large court reporting agency, I have decided to branch out on my own full time.  I have been proofreading for court reporters exclusively for 20 years. During that time I also attained an associate's degree in court and conference reporting and have sat for the Texas CSR examination.  That being said, I have a deep "big-picture" understanding of the court reporting industry overall that greatly enhances my skill set.   

    My corrections process is very user friendly, starting with an ASCII (.txt) file submitted by the client and ending in a PDF returned to the client.  All of my suggested corrections are searchable, made in context, and visible in red. 

    I am extremely reliable, thorough, and have a superior eye for detail and inconsistency.  I am often available at a moment's notice for same-day turnaround when requested and expedites are rarely a problem.  I offer competitive rates and competitive turnaround, working seven days a week if need be, and treat weekends and most holidays as any other day.  My goal is to always place my clients' convenience above my own.

    Payment may be made easily via PayPal, as this is the most convenient billing method for both my clients and myself.

    I am currently building a roster of new clients and have several slots still available, whether you're full time, part time, or only interested for now in a one-off.    

    Please contact me directly at weilproofing@gmail.com, and I will promptly send you my rate sheet and policies/practices along with an exemplar transcript. 

    I greatly welcome the opportunity of becoming a valued and dedicated part of your team!

  • Chelsea Adams

    Why do you need a proofreader?

    We all only have so many hours in the day. Between taking down a job, scoping it, proofing it, submitting it, and all the stuff in between (you know, eating and sleeping and relaxing), it can be hard to get everything done. With me on your team, your time goes further without having to sacrifice what's important to you.

    Take back your free time. Let's be friends.

  • Teresa Clark

    Hello! I'm fairly new here. :) My name is Teresa Clark, and I am The Wordsmith VA.

    My colleagues always asked me to proofread their work before it was published. I tend to easily spot spelling and grammar errors in printed materials. And mistakes published publicly by large companies really irk me! It was only natural that I become a professional proofreader. Now I use my top-notch proofreading skills to help court reporters polish their transcripts.

    A court reporter’s job is never easy, but let me make your job a little easier by proofreading your transcripts. Find out more about me and my services at www.thewordsmithva.com. I'd love to work with you!

  • Abda Laurent

    The onus is on the reporter to ensure the highest accuracy possible.  Your reputation is crucial.  That's why I'm dedicated to raising the accuracy of your spoken word.

    I'm a proofreader who is punctual, thorough, and respectful to confidentiality.  I greatly value your personal preferences (up to the color of the highlighting!).  I can help polish your transcript as you take down your next assignment, or if you just need extra help.  Send your job to me to cross off one more item on your list and breathe easier.

    For more information (rates, turnarounds, policies, etc.), contact me at abda@abdalaurent.com, or visit my website at www.abdalaurent.com.

  • Daniel Scott

    Hey, 

    I proofread transcripts for court reporters using PDF ONLY (I understand that this is not for everyone). Why work with me? My clients can attest to my reliability, accuracy, and the peace of mind they experience knowing I will send back great work every time.

    I would love to work with you too and look forward to being a part of your team.

  • Kathy Snow

    Hi there!

    Picky, picky, picky – that’s me, but in a good way! My obsessive attention to detail will help you produce outstanding transcripts.  I pledge to read every word and do extensive research to make sure all names, terms, locations, etc. are spelled correctly. And I seem to have a knack for figuring out a puzzling word or phrase when you say, “It sounded something like this…”

    I have found that my paralegal background and hands-on training in court reporting school makes me a more well-rounded proofreader with a better understanding of the challenges you face in recording verbatim proceedings.

    My longtime (since 1996) court reporter client is taking an extended hiatus, so I am now available, with red pen in hand, to take on your most challenging  depos.

    The details:

                            Paralegal Certificate (Honors) – Roosevelt University, Chicago

                            Court Reporting School – Merit College (2 years)

                            BA (Sociology)-- University of Illinois

                            Proofreading experience - 21 years

    Please contact me at: kathys1530@gmail.com to discuss your project or chat about rates and turnaround times. I’m looking forward to partnering with you in a long-term relationship!

    Resume, rates sheet, and references available upon request. You can email me at butifnot.es@gmail.com. I'd love to discuss how I can help save you time and frustration!

  • Francine Jackson

    Hi,

    I'm Francine Jackson, the one Christine said was having a problem signing in.  I've been a proofreader for almost 20 years, starting when, as a person putting together a program book for kids' science studies, I noticed there were too many errors to allow the public to read.  I have been freelancing for a court reporting office for many years; also, I'm a professional informal science educator, with emphasis on astronomy.  And, yes, I'm looking forward to the upcoming total solar eclipse.

  • Natalie Osenbaugh

    Busy? Overwhelmed? Exhausted? Need five extra minutes to maintain your sanity? I can help!

    Instead of taking the time to proofread your transcripts yourself, send them to me. I will go over them, fact checking dates and addresses, correcting punctuation for readability, and catching those sneaky typos that slip by. When you give your transcript to me, I'm a set of fresh eyes. I'll do my best to make sure you have a clean, accurate transcript. I work by marking on PDF. Audio is available upon request at a different rate.

    For references I use:

    • Lillian Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters
    • Bad Grammar, Good Punctuation by Margie Wakeman Wells
    • Gregg's Reference Manual
    • The best punctuation book, period. by June Casagrande
    • The Merriam-Webster Dictionary
    • Various Internet sources (e.g. drugs.com, usacourts.gov, etc)

    And most importantly:

    • Your preferences.

    I will take your preferences into account when proofreading. Like the Oxford comma? Great! Hate it? Ok, that's fine too. I'm here to help YOU.

    Please don't hesitate to e-mail me with any jobs, questions, or just to chat! Please visit my website here for more information or e-mail me at natalie@tobrighteststars.com.

  • Vincent Prewitt

    My name is Vincent Prewitt, trained Case CATalyst scopist and proofreader. I have an extensive amount of experience editing court transcripts, and I am a former transcriptionist.
    While I have been trained and tested on the principles of Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters, I will cater to your preferences should you have those.

    Strengths:
    Hard worker, very reliable
    Attention to detail
    Research
    Communication

    To get started, for scoping, I would need any and all files you use when you recorded the transcript (full audio, the actual sgngl file, dictionary files, globals, etc). 
    For proofreading, all I would need is the sgngl file. Alternatively for proofreading, I can do PDF or use track changes in Microsoft Word.
    My schedule is open and available to take work right now and throughout the year except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Normal and expedite turnaround are being accepted at this time. Please send an e-mail to vinceproofs@gmail.com for any questions you have about rates or other general questions about my work. 
    I look forward to meeting your scoping or proofreading needs in the foreseeable future.
