This is the wikizine for those involved in court transcriptions and those considering these fields as a career.

Court reporters, also known as stenographers, are responsible for getting down the proceedings of a trial, word for word. The stenographer has to transcribe a minimum of 225 words per minute to become certified. This professional will often send that initial copy to a "scopist" for completion. It's the scopist's job to clean up the copy (punctuation, spelling, etc.) and to format the copy according to court requirements. The scopist can often work from home.

For those already in the field, this wikizine is a place for tips and news in the field -- from software to practices. For those interested in a career in court transcription, here's where you can read, learn, and see if you'd like to become part of this courtroom world.
