How do you all feel about using preference sheets sent to you by a scopist? I've had several reporters lately that are just looking for someone to help them out with a rush, and no one seems to have…Continue

Devon Roberts replied to Cindy Clark's discussion Scopists: Are most reporters requesting full-audio scoping these days? in the group ScopistsHi! My name is Cindy Clark, and I live and work in beautiful Humboldt County, California.
I am currently enrolled at Internet Scoping School (ISS), which is run by Linda Evenson, a highly respected professional scopist in Montana. I decided on this school after a thorough investigation of the other options out there. I found ISS to be the most thorough in teaching about punctuating the spoken word, reading steno, running a business, using Case CATalyst, as well as extensive training in various forms of transcripts. The course also goes into great detail on how to best serve a court reporter in my capacity as his/her scopist or proofreader. I've not graduated yet, but I have already scoped and proofed several jobs for those willing to give me a chance. (You can read some of my recommendations on my LinkedIn page at http://www.linkedin.com/in/scopingstudio).
About my work background...
I've been in the word processing field for over 25 years, and for most of that time I was a supervisor. I've also had my own word processing business, wherein I did transcription, editing, and proofreading for both the legal, medical, and general fields. I've been mostly in the land title industry dealing with legal issues having to do with land contracts, mortgages, easements, and that sort of thing. I also did a lengthy stint with the Department of Energy, where I picked up a lot of really interesting information on occupational health and safety, engineering, and the chemical sciences.
I've taken several proofreading and editing courses throughout my working life, as the English language is something I truly enjoy. I believe I bring a really strong background to this field, not only in production, but legal terminology, the sciences, and punctuation. Having had my own business in the past, having run several large word processing deparments, and having many years of working out of my home both as an independent contractor and as an employee, I also know how to schedule my time to GET THE JOB DONE AND DO IT RIGHT!

I had a busy but interesting day today. I spent 5 hours doing some medical transcription work, another 3+ hours on a rush rough on a ptsd lawsuit, and then a little over an hour on a scoping job -- although most of the scoping had already been done and all that was left was a bit of research on some medical terms. Interesting stuff! I love my job! No getting bored with day-to-day, same-old, same-old!

Melini A. Carreon said… I was raised in Napa County in the country with huge, beautiful redwoods on the property, so I know exactly what you mean. My mom still owns the property, but she rents it out, so I don't get up there as often as I'd like. My daughter and her family live in Denver. In fact, I'm going there next month for my son-in-law's graduation from med school. They'll be moving to Virginia in June. He'll be doing his one-year residency in Virginia. I'm living in Orange County, Southern California, and have been for the last 30 years. I'm happy to know you're enjoying nature up there in Northern California. I wish I were living up there myself:)
Melini A. Carreon said… Thanks for the warm welcome.
By the way, I absolutely love Humboldt County!:)

Kelli Combs (admin) said… Most people don't blog on their own page. Usually you leave a comment for someone else and then the reply back and it goes on your page. I suppose you can post something there too. Yes, everyone will see it in the "Recent Activity" feed.
We don't have a mentoring group, per say. I'd be happy answer any questions he has, as I've been doing this job now for 25 years. Just today got an adoration from my main firm saying the love working for me and I'm GREAT at my job, which makes everyone's job in the office so much easier.
My email is kellikellikay@aol.com and he can ask me any questions he has.
