    Hi, Carol!

    Since you've been a court reporter, that's really all the skills you need to be a scopist/proofreader. To me, the best scopists are the ones who have been a reporter, have been in their shoes and knows what it takes to produce a quality transcript.

    This is a wonderful site, and since I've been a member here, I've picked up FOUR wonderful clients! So it looks like this is the place to be!

    There's all kinds of advice I can give you, so you can e-mail me at arichardson1976@aol.com if you'd like to discuss anything.

    Good luck!

    Carol,

    I've been thinking, and really, if it were me (and it has been me in the past), I guess I would buy the software new, because odds are you're going to be calling tech support some for help. And if you buy used, you might not be covered. And if you pay to get covered, it might be as much as you would have paid if you bought new. Does any of that make sense?

    Anyway, here's a site I found online, and it's pretty interesting banter regarding buying used software:

    Good luck!

    One other thing I forgot to mention. I'm sure you already know this, but make sure you buy the edit version, not the full reporting version. It's quite a bit cheaper, and it's all you'll need as a scopist.
