<p>Happy with $10 to $12 a page anytime? Even if you SHOULD BE getting $15 to $20 or even $25 per page??? Don't think so. Capped rates are merely to screw the reporter, yet again. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Just say no to capped rates.</strong></span></p>

<p>people in the audience watched me like I was going to do magic tricks. The atty who hired me barely acknowledged me except to give me his card and tell me what number we were on the calendar. that was my first court experience anywhere! interesting, breaking down my equipment in the middle of a hearing.</p>
<p>I was doing depos in florida, and I'd say about 50% did not order transcripts. I got the impression that's the way they do it there, if what they hear in the depo is not pertinent to their case, they don't order. at least that's my impression....I was only there a very short time, weeks</p> Kathy, I understand what you'…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2013-09-11:1736041:Comment:12827512013-09-11T17:11:23.068ZDean Morrishttps://csrnation.ning.com/profile/molas
<p>Kathy, I understand what you're saying, but I guess I don't agree with how you arrived at your point.</p>
<p>Doctors and dentists justify their prices, as the world is constantly questioning them, and the reasons given by their advocates are: the length of time it took to finish school, that their schooling was a "really hard program," the cost of the program/schooling, etc. I hear it from my neighbor-advocates of doctors and dentists.

<p>Kathy, I understand what you're saying, but I guess I don't agree with how you arrived at your point.</p>
<p>Doctors and dentists justify their prices, as the world is constantly questioning them, and the reasons given by their advocates are: the length of time it took to finish school, that their schooling was a "really hard program," the cost of the program/schooling, etc. I hear it from my neighbor-advocates of doctors and dentists. Sad that we don't hear that: This doc deserves more money because he's a skilled surgeon versus the Joe Schmoe doc who has a drinking problem and can't determine a right leg from a left leg, etc.</p>
<p>Frankly, "what we do is hard work," sounds to me like whining. Housekeeping workers, construction workers, etc., give the same arguments.</p>
<p>Again, I agree with your point, but not the justifications. I do think that our training matters, the cost of the training matters, the cost of the upkeep of certifications matters, the knowledge we've acquired through those certifications matters, the level of our skills matters, the ability to adapt to change in a constantly-changing profession which requires top-notch technological skills matters, the cost of the equipment to maintain technological currency, our professionalism matters, our customer service matters, and a long list of other things matters, including providing the human element which surpasses any product a company utilizing digital equipment could possibly offer.</p>
<p>That's why we deserve to be paid appropriately. No reason to give excuses. Just the facts.</p> thanks, Quyen,
