Hello! I have started a new group called Scopists/Former Court Reporters in an effort to help court reporters who might be looking for a scopist with a reporting background find them easier.

If you are a scopist and were a once a reporter, please feel free to join and advertise your services in this group. Thanks!

Sabrina,

Hi, Sabrina. I was a court reporter for four-plus years, and now I scope on a part-time basis in addition to a job with the courts as an admin assistant.

I look forward to reading the posts in this group and meeting other scopists that are former reporters. :)

Hey, Tara,

Welcome, welcome! Sounds like you're pretty well-rounded, having been a reporter, now a scopist AND working in the court system. There really seems to be a lot of us former reporters turned scopists out there! Glad you joined us here.

Hi, I'm here. :-) Was a reporter for 15+ years, started out freelancing and then the rest as an official. Left the machine during a difficult pregnancy, and stayed home to scope and be with the kids.

Have been just this past week taking the machine out to work for the first time in over a decade ... I'm overseas at the moment and the reporting work here, well, it's few & far between, but apparently this month it's busy, so the local ladies called me up to cover some of it. Not so simple ... I'm behind the times technology-wise. Am finding that out the hard way. Sigh.

Better for my stress levels to just scope, I think. LOL
Amy,

I have been out of the reporting field for three years, and I just cannot imagine stepping back into it, especially overseas where things are probably done a little differently. My hat's off to you! It's definitely a different world as a scopist. At the moment, my stress level is rising because of having a lot of work, but that's a good thing. :)

Good luck to you!

Hi, Everyone!

I too am a former Federal Court Reporter turned scopist. I got carpal tunnel years ago and had to quit. Funny thing is, the machine caused me no end of problems, but the computer keyboard is no hassle whatsoever.

This'll be a fun group to be part of!
Welcome, welcome, Rebecca!

Thankfully, I never got carpal tunnel, but I sure did lots of workers' comp jobs dealing with it. It can sure be career-ending for a reporter, as you well know.

Look under the heading Community and then choose Groups, and I think on the second or third page you'll see the actual Scopists/Former Court Reporters group. Click on that and join up!

Oh, thanks!
Hi Sabrina, I'm a realtime reporter in the field for 20+ years. Currently see there is more demand for scopists
in some areas. I am open to scoping in StenoCat32. If you know anyone looking for a seasoned scopist for the software or willing to train me on a new software they can contact me at elise.reporter@comcast.net.
thx,

Hi Sabrina -- I was a court reporter for ten years in Nevada and California.  I developed carpal tunnel and became an interior designer.  I would like to get into scoping and I'm in the process of trying to decide what software to buy.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  This sounds like a great group!  I look forward to reading all the posts.
