Is there any way to contact reporters that use a certain software?

[Darlene]

This site has a list of scopists by state or software. Is there any way to contact reporters by software, other than searching the member list? When you search the member list, all reporters on a certain software
surface (seven pages). It's would be very time consuming to email each one; although, I did email
a few in Florida.

Again, if you read othere posts, I am seeing many CRs are VERY slow. I know I am. I am going to do the work to save the money of paying my scopist if I am only getting one job a week.....PLEASE don't make it seem like CRs are the 'bad' guys here, that is what is annoying about being emailed/called/etc. Look at the economy out there.

Great work Monti. I, like Darlene, have a big fat 0, too. It would be awesome if everyone could find everything they needed from this website and we really appreciate your work. If I get work, I can throw some money your way to help out the costs of this website. :-)

Hello Jennifer,
The new feature that we are still working on should hopefully make it easier for reporters to find a scopist hence hopefully more work for you guys.

If you look at your page you will see the "do not spam" line, that's because some scopist went around leaving messages which caused the reporters to send me angry messages so I had to add it.
Believe me, I would like nothing more than to hear people getting work through CSRnation, its why we started it.
Lets see what happens after this feature that is already 2 months over due.
Thanks!

Thank you, Jennifer. I posted on the forum and have not had one response. On the forum
there are a lot of posts. They all have replies -- but mine!!! There stands the "0"
in the reply section. I also contacted several Florida reporters since I would be familiar
with the terminology regarding locations and such. A reporter did respond and it looks
like we may be able to work something out. Thanks for your encouragement.

Hey, Darlene: I am (or was) on the same page as you. In the past, I have searched court reporters on the Internet and "cold called" several reporters and got work!!! I was thinking of doing that on here, too, but I guess I won't for know. Don't apologize for being ambitious and a "go getter".

hello Darlene,
actually you cant send an email to a group of people, if you want to advertise yourself use the scopist forum.
we are releasing a new feature soon were it will make it easier on the reporters to find a scopist.
we also added "got scopist" that makes finding a scopist a bit easier.
thanks

My sincere apologies. I did not mean to do anything that was not correct or allowed.
I was trying to figure out if anyone knew how to send an email to reporters on a
certain software. Sorry. I didn't mean violate any rules for the site. Sincerely, Darlene

Yeah, Rhoda, that's what I thought too. That would be considered spamming and I don't think the powers that be allow spamming on this site.

[Rhoda Collins]

Actually, you are not supposed to do that, I don't think.....I believe the CR 'finds' the scopist thru here. I thought you were looking for software 'help' or tips. It can be kind of annoying to keep getting emails/posts from scopists....keep that in mind. Many CRs are slow too. When it is slow, I don't use my scopist.

Thank you for your response. If you hear of a StenoCAT reporter needing a scopist, please forward my info. Thank you again, Darlene
