My name is Kate, and I am an eagle-eyed Proofreader - English teacher, with degree in languages.  I spent 20+ years as a Legal Secretary and Paralegal, specializing in PI/Insurance Defense litigation, also construction defects and asbestos litigation.  I also summarize medical records, when needed.  I will email your errata sheet within 2 days, unless you require next day turnaround - that will cost you more, but my rates are reasonable.  I'm in California and you can reach me at kitzeleh@gmail.com.  Thanks for reading.

Hi everyone!

My name is Caitlin and I am a professional proofreader of three years and a certified personal trainer living in Orlando, Florida. I independently contract with a bunch of reporters and agencies throughout the state providing top-notch digital proofreading. I can provide you with either an errata OR I can mark and highlight directly onto your PDF transcript. Can't convert to PDF? No problem! I'll convert your ASCII file for you. My turnaround is ridiculously fast, and I'm so thorough it's almost annoying! Just kidding. You'll love me. Let me know if you would like some references, rates, or just want to say hi by emailing me at caitlinpyle312@gmail.com

Having provided straight proofreading services for ten years, it is time for me to get caught up with the times and provide additional services.

I recently purchased a scopist license from digitalCAT because it was recommended by a reporter in West Virginia who wanted to use me as backup during a month-long trial to proofread with audio and make corrections directly in the software program.

I am interested in hooking up with digitalCAT reporters who have been reporting for at least five years. Still doing straight proofreading on paper, so please contact me for that service as well.

Thank you.

Not sure how this works now on CSR Nation! But I am a proofreader looking for some work. Am a NALA paralegal with 12 years of experience proofreading for attorneys and have been proofreading for court reporters for the last two years. I love it! Was formerly a med tech for 15 years and have a BS in science education, so I have a very strong legal, medical and science background. Also speak multiple romance languages so I have a strong Latin/Greek background. Will do your research and indexes at no extra charge. barbie.clifton007@sbcglobal.net. Thank you!

I'm looking for a proofreader (or two) for two depos, one's 87 pages, the other is 159 pages.  It's the same case, husband and wife.  I need them back by tomorrow, Sunday, at 4pm.  I'm on Eclipse v5, in case you work in a CAT system.  If you're available, send me your rates.  Also tell me how you make your corrections (errata sheet, mark/scan pdf, directly in CAT).  Thanks.  j u d y r u n e s @ yahoo . com (no spaces, obviously).

Hi! I was a legal secretary for over thirty years. I am now working from home transcribing audio tapes and of late, I am doing a little scoping and proofreading for court reporters who are willing to send me documents in Microsoft Word, since I do not have CAT equipment. I use Dropbox, Start Stop, Microsoft Word, Windows 7, Paypal and an Infinity foot pedal and headset. My rates are reasonable for both audio (per minute) and scoping/proofreading (per page). My turnaround times are good. I can guarantee a perfectly proofread, formatted and spell-checked document. Please consider my services by emailing me at metatauta@hotmail.com. Thanks!

Hi Skip-

Would you be willing to send PDFs and receive scanned corrections in PDFs?

Hey all.  I'm a new court reporter looking to hire a proofreader long-term -- I'll need one for my career, after all.  That being said, I'm looking for a proofreader who can handle DigitalCAT (I'd like to switch but can't afford to right now), and who adheres primarily to Morson's English Guide for Court Reporters.  I've been having trouble finding a proofer who can meet those criteria and do a reliable job, but if you can, then please contact me.

Some general observations regarding several posts on this forum:

1) If people receive "duplicate" e-mails regarding posts from CSRNation, it might be a result of the same post being posted in multiple forums.  I didn't even realize (or forgot) there was this specific forum for placing proofreading "ads" which often end up on being posted on the Proofreaders forum.  I believe the Proofreaders forum was probably designed for general proofreading discussion and this "ad" forum is more for solicitation, but unlike Eclipse Forums, the folks who run CSRNation don't appear to be strict about where the information gets posted, which is a good thing.

2) Regarding clients who might be slow pay or no pay; I have a policy not to exceed a $200 balance for new clients prior to my invoicing them (which is generally weekly anyway).  This has worked well for me.  When I recently made an exception with a client I had no history with who wanted to pay twice each month, she ran up an $800 bill.  Sure enough, it took a long time to get paid and I wasn't a happy camper.  Stick to policies and these types of problems can usually be avoided.  When  reporters said they were not happy with my work and claimed that I made lots of mistakes or whatever (and hundreds of dollars is not at stake), I just tell them "no charge, have a nice day."  Isn't worth the negative energy to deal with that type of thing.  If it is involving a considerable amount of money, I simply offer a discount, take the loss and move on.

3) Another good policy (and this goes for reporters, scopists, proofreaders, transcribers, etc.) is to conduct 20-minute telephone interviews (or an email interview) to find out about compatibility BEFORE entering into a relationship.  This will narrow down the playing field for BOTH parties.  No sense to "get in bed" with folks that aren't going to be a good business marriage.  Again, when I slack off and don't take that extra steps, both of us often end up to be very unhappy.

Any reporter needing proofreading services can contact me via phone (866-925-8020) or via my website: http://WeNeverSleep.com

I also am happy to hear from other proofreaders who need help collecting money owed to them (or any other aspect of the proofreading business).  Sometimes it is as simple as contacting the agencies the reporter does work for (or the court administrator if the reporter is an official) and you'd be amazed how quickly an outstanding invoice is taken care of!  In ten years, I only had to result to that method once or twice, so I have been very fortunate in that regard.  Threatening collection activity can also do the job (which I have had to do about five times in ten years), but did receive prompt payment after that.  Be professional; we don't want to alienate folks, especially during the Great Recession.

Glad to help in any way I can.

Thanks, Janet. That makes sense.

Comment by Janet on July 17, 2012 at 17:32

That normally happens if someone edits their ad and posts it again.  I'm assuming that's what happened with the ad Chris placed.
